VIEW BOTSWANA CAMERAS →The road network in Botswana is managed with increasing modernization by the Ministry of Transport and Public Works. Hosting the primary north-south transit route (A1), the country handles a significant volume of international freight and domestic travel. In the capital, Gaborone, where the population has grown to over 250,000, having real-time visibility is essential for navigating the region's increasing urban congestion. TrafficVision aggregates official feeds to give you the same strategic visibility used by traffic managers across the Republic.

Master the Strategic Hub of Southern Africa
Botswana's transport landscape is defined by its role as a vital bridge for regional commerce. According to data from Statistics Botswana, the nation is currently undertaking a massive upgrade of the A1 highway to a dual carriageway to handle increasing demand. For drivers in Gaborone, where the average travel time for a 10km trip is approximately 21 minutes, real-time information is a vital tool for managing the daily commute and ensuring a safer journey.
TrafficVision addresses these challenges by providing a unified view of the national camera network. In a city like Gaborone, where car usage accounts for over 43% of all trips, having real-time data is essential. By viewing the official street cameras, you can see the actual density of traffic on the Kudumatse Drive or the major radial avenues, allowing you to choose the most efficient travel window through the "Diamond of Africa."

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Key Motorways and Strategic Infrastructure
The backbone of the Botswanan transport system consists of high-capacity highways that serve as the primary links for both citizens and international commerce:
- The A1 Highway: The lifeline of the country, connecting Noordoewer in the south to Oshikango in the north. Our cameras cover the strategic sections and the busy hubs of Palapye and Mahalapye.
- The A2 Trans-Kalahari Highway: The primary link to the Atlantic coast via Namibia, essential for international trade and the movement of goods from Pretoria.
- The Gaborone Ring Road: Essential for bypassing the city center, these routes are critical for regional logistics and are frequently monitored for peak-hour congestion.
Recent statistics from the Roads Authority indicate that road transport safety in Botswana is a high priority, with the national operator utilizing an advanced Traffic Surveillance System (TSS) to monitor vehicle counts and speeds across the 18,000+ km road network.
