Traffic camera reports
Nobody publishes a national picture of America's traffic cameras, because nobody holds one. Building Roadze meant gathering 53,740 of them from 46 states — so here is what that data says.
US traffic camera availability, month by month
Every month we check thousands of DOT cameras and record how many answer. Nobody else tracks how these networks change over time.
How many US traffic cameras are actually broken
States keep publishing cameras that stopped working. We checked thousands and counted them.
Half of America's traffic cameras aren't live video
Only about half stream video. The rest publish a photo — and it depends entirely on the state.
The US highways you can watch across the most states
Every DOT stops at its border. These are the routes that don't.
Camera coverage by state
How many public cameras each state publishes. The spread is wider than you would expect: the largest network is more than a hundred times the smallest.

How we measured
Every camera here comes from an official state DOT feed. Roadze doesn't own cameras or place them: it collects what each state already publishes and keeps the list current.
Counts change as states add, retire or rename cameras. The figures on this page are rebuilt from the live catalogue rather than typed in, so they follow those changes on their own.
