Baie-Mahault, GP Traffic Cameras: 500+ Live Cams

Baie-Mahault serves as the essential logistics and commercial engine of Guadeloupe. Managed by Routes de Guadeloupe, the city’s road network supports an immense volume of industrial freight, local transit, and the daily commute of thousands of workers. As home to Jarry, the largest industrial zone in the French Antilles, staying informed about the flow on the RN1 and RN2 is essential for safe and efficient travel.

TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Baie-Mahault’s national highways and municipal roads. Whether you are checking for morning congestion near the Destrellan interchange or monitoring heavy vehicle volume on the route to Basse-Terre, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the heart of the island.

High-Performance Grid

Scan dozens of urban intersections and industrial junctions simultaneously with our mobile-optimized interface, perfect for bypassing peak-hour gridlock.

Strategic Infrastructure: The Jarry Crossroads

Baie-Mahault’s road network is a critical component of the Caribbean transport system. The city manages a high concentration of national highways, with the RN1 and RN2 serving as the primary pillars of terrestrial movement. This infrastructure supports the world-class logistics of the Jarry industrial zone and the massive transit move between the two wings of Guadeloupe.

The scale of the network's utilization is intense. The RN2 corridor, particularly the section between Baie-Mahault and Sainte-Rose, has seen its traffic volume grow to over 40,000 vehicles per day, far exceeding its original design of 20,000 passes. To manage this pressure, authorities have implemented a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and ongoing widening projects, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be heavy freight merging into Jarry or roadworks on the RN1—before they reach the bottleneck.

Primary Transportation Corridors

1. RN1: The primary artery linking Baie-Mahault to the capital, Basse-Terre, and the southern districts.
2. RN2: The major northern axis connecting the city to the industrial and agricultural hubs of the Leeward Coast.
3. The Jarry Bypass: A vital urban route managing the movement of heavy commercial vehicles around the residential core.
4. Destrellan Interchange: The busiest junction in Guadeloupe, managing the intersection of the island’s primary national routes.

Prioritizing Safety in a High-Density Metro

Road safety is a continuous priority for Routes de Guadeloupe and the local Prefecture. Guadeloupe has historically faced high accident rates, with a fatality rate of 143 per million inhabitants—significantly higher than the European average. In Baie-Mahault, the combination of high-speed motorway merges and the dense industrial traffic of Jarry presents ongoing challenges for motorists.

The challenge of safety is amplified by the frequency of accidents occurring at night. In 2024, nearly 74% of fatal road incidents in Guadeloupe happened after dark. Authorities emphasize that situational awareness and appropriate speed are vital for reducing these figures. By providing free access to live camera feeds, TrafficVision supports this safety mission by giving drivers the visual information needed to anticipate hazards. Being able to see a queue on the RN2 or heavy tropical rain at the Destrellan interchange allows motorists to adjust their speed and behavior before an incident occurs.

Navigating Peak Hours and Industrial Surges

Traffic in Baie-Mahault follows an intense rhythm dictated by the industrial work day and the urban expansion of the Jarry region.

The Jarry Rush

As the economic heart of the French Antilles, Jarry experiences extreme peak-hour traffic. During the morning and evening peaks, commute times through the industrial zone can triple. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the main arterial roads and the internal Jarry streets simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path through the city's commercial core.

RN2 Congestion Patterns

The RN2 is a known bottleneck for those commuting from northern Basse-Terre. Traffic density regularly peaks between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM as workers move toward the capital region. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for residents looking to identify the best time to start their journey and avoid the heavy "bouchon" that often forms near the city’s primary entries.
