VIEW AUCKLAND CAMERAS →The Auckland motorway network is managed by Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) and Auckland Transport. With one of the highest car ownership rates in the world—approximately 869 vehicles per 1,000 people—real-time visibility is not just a luxury; it's a necessity for any Auckland commuter. TrafficVision aggregates official feeds to give you a comprehensive view of the entire Auckland transport network.

Managing Congestion in New Zealand's Largest City
Auckland's traffic challenges are significant. According to transport modeling from Waka Kotahi, Aucklanders collectively spend approximately 29 million hours in congestion every year. The cost of this gridlock to the city's economy is projected to reach $2.6 billion annually by 2026. This makes real-time monitoring a vital tool for both individuals and businesses.
TrafficVision addresses this by providing a unified interface for thousands of official camera feeds. Instead of relying on estimated travel times, you can see the actual density of traffic on the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) or the Southwestern Motorway (SH20), allowing you to make informed decisions about your route.

The backbone of Auckland's transport system is the "Strategic Road Network," which connects the city's diverse neighborhoods and industrial hubs:
- The Auckland Harbour Bridge: Serving as the sole motorway link to the North Shore, its cameras are the most-watched in the country. Data shows that crossings frequently exceed 200,000 on peak days.
- The Central Motorway Junction (CMJ): Often called "Spaghetti Junction," this complex interchange connects SH1 and SH16. Our cameras provide multiple angles of this critical bottleneck.
- The Western Ring Route: Including the SH20 and the Waterview Tunnel, this route provides a vital alternative to the SH1 through the city center.
According to TomTom's Traffic Index, Auckland central consistently ranks among the top 100 most congested cities globally. Real-time cameras allow drivers to verify if an incident has occurred in the Victoria Park Tunnel or on the Upper Harbour Bridge before they are committed to the route.

BROWSE CITY GRID →Weather and Environmental Challenges
Auckland's coastal location means that high winds can frequently impact the Harbour Bridge. Waka Kotahi often implements speed restrictions or lane closures during "amber" and "red" wind alerts. By checking our live cameras, you can see the digital signage and the actual conditions on the bridge before you attempt the crossing.
Additionally, the city's volcanic topography means that many routes have steep gradients and sharp curves. During heavy rain, these areas can become particularly hazardous. Monitoring the live feeds allows you to verify if surface flooding is present on the low-lying sections of the Northwestern Motorway.
Are the Auckland traffic cameras live?
Yes, TrafficVision provides real-time access to the official Waka Kotahi (NZTA) and Auckland Transport camera networks. Images refresh every few minutes to provide an accurate view of the road.
Can I see the Auckland Harbour Bridge cameras?
Yes, we provide full coverage of the Harbour Bridge, including both the Northern and Southern approaches. This is essential for monitoring traffic flow and wind-related restrictions.
How do I find cameras in the Waterview Tunnel?
You can search for "Waterview" in the search bar or navigate to the SH20 section on our interactive map. We provide feeds for both the tunnel interior and the entrance portals.
Is there a fee to use TrafficVision in Auckland?
No. TrafficVision is a free service. We believe all Aucklanders should have access to public traffic data to help them navigate the city's busy roads safely and efficiently.
