Watch Arizona Traffic Cameras Live
Access 2800+ live traffic cameras across Arizona's highway network, spanning 1,169 miles of Interstates and over 3,007 miles of state-maintained roads according to ADOT reports. Our interactive map provides real-time access to live street feeds and intersection cameras throughout Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff. Monitor I-10 coast-to-coast, I-17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff, the Loop 101/202 beltway system, and every major corridor across the Grand Canyon State.
VIEW ARIZONA CAMERAS āAccording to federal transportation research, the use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and real-time cameras can reduce the duration of traffic incidents by up to 25%, significantly decreasing the risk of secondary collisions on busy interstates like I-10 and I-17.
Arizona centers on the massive Phoenix metropolitan area with I-10 and I-17 as its primary arteries. In addition to highway monitoring, users can access live street feeds and road-level views along major surface arterials like Camelback Road in Phoenix and Speedway Boulevard in Tucson to check for localized gridlock. These street-level views are essential for navigating around university campuses and stadium events during monsoon storms or seasonal surges.

VIEW ARIZONA CAMERAS āPhoenix Metro
See the dedicated Phoenix Traffic Cameras Guide for complete metro coverage.
Phoenix (1.7M city, 5M+ metro) is one of the largest and fastest-growing metros in the US. The sprawling valley development creates near-total car dependency. The I-10 Inner Loop through Phoenix can handle up to 300,000 vehicles per day, contributing to an average commute time of approximately 26 minutes for valley residents. The I-10/I-17 junction known as "The Stack" is the busiest interchange in Arizona, with daily rush hour gridlock that backs up in all directions. The Loop 101/202/303 beltway system handles massive suburban commuter volumes through Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, and Surprise.
Other Major Arizona Cities
Tucson
Arizona's second-largest metro (940K) sits along the I-10 corridor with I-19 providing the main route south to the Mexico border at Nogales. The University of Arizona campus generates significant traffic, and the mountain basin geography channels traffic onto limited routes. Tucson's growth is rapidly expanding congestion on I-10 through the metro area.
Flagstaff
At 7,000 feet elevation, Flagstaff (75K) sits at the I-40/I-17 junction and experiences genuine winter conditions ā a sharp contrast to the desert below. Northern Arizona University, Grand Canyon tourism, and Arizona Snowbowl ski traffic all contribute to congestion, particularly on weekends when Phoenix residents flee the heat.
Mesa, Tempe, and Scottsdale
These Phoenix suburbs form a continuous urban mass connected by the Loop 101/202 system. Mesa (500K) is the third-largest city in Arizona. Tempe hosts Arizona State University (75,000+ students). Scottsdale's resort district draws visitors year-round. All three generate heavy traffic on the freeway system.
Arizona Traffic Challenges
Dust storm safety (haboobs): NEVER drive into a dust wall. Pull completely off the road, stop, turn your lights OFF (so other drivers don't follow your taillights into danger), and wait for the storm to pass. Dust storms can reduce visibility to zero instantly and cause deadly multi-vehicle pileups.
- Safety and fatalities: Safety is a paramount concern on these routes; while Arizona saw a 6% decrease in traffic fatalities to 1,228 in 2024, the state's rapid growth continues to put pressure on road infrastructure.
- Desert heat: Summer temperatures routinely exceed 110Ā°F, causing vehicle breakdowns to spike dramatically. Pavement temperatures can reach 160Ā°F.
- Rapid growth: Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing major metros in the US, and infrastructure struggles to keep pace with development.
- Snowbird season: October through April, seasonal residents from colder states double the population in many areas, adding significant traffic volume.
- Mountain grades: I-17 has steep 7% grade sections that slow trucks and create hazards, with winter closures possible near Flagstaff.
Seasonal Patterns
Summer (May-September)
- Extreme heat (110-120Ā°F) dramatically increases vehicle breakdowns
- Monsoon season (July-September) brings flash floods and dust storms
- Check cameras before travel ā conditions change rapidly during storms
- Best driving window: early morning before 9 AM or after sunset
Winter (October-April) ā Snowbird Season
- Seasonal residents flood Phoenix and Tucson areas
- I-10 from California sees heavy RV and trailer traffic
- Northern Arizona (Flagstaff, I-40) experiences winter snow conditions
- I-17 mountain sections can close for snow and ice
Spring Training (February-March)
- MLB spring training draws large crowds to the Phoenix metro area
- Combined with snowbird peak, this creates maximum seasonal congestion
- Scottsdale and Tempe near spring training stadiums see heavy traffic

How to Use Arizona Cameras
Find cameras near your route
Visit TrafficVision.Live and use the interactive map to browse cameras across Arizona. Zoom into Phoenix metro for dense coverage or pan across the state for highway cameras.
Check weather hazards
Before any trip, verify conditions on mountain routes (I-17) in winter or desert routes in summer. Camera feeds show actual road conditions that weather reports can't capture.
Monitor dust storm corridors
I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson and I-8 near Yuma are frequent dust storm zones. Check cameras along these stretches during monsoon season (July-September).
Build a custom route
Create a route along your drive to see every camera in sequence. Especially useful for I-17 Phoenix-to-Flagstaff trips or cross-state I-10 journeys.
