VIEW BRISBANE CAMERAS →Brisbane is a city defined by its winding river. With the Brisbane River looping through the metropolitan area, traffic is funneled onto a limited number of bridge crossings, creating natural bottlenecks that define the daily commute. The Captain Cook Bridge and the Gateway Bridge are the critical north-south lifelines.
According to TomTom, Brisbane's congestion levels are rising as the population booms ahead of the 2032 Olympics. The M1 Pacific Motorway is notoriously busy, carrying commuters from the Gold Coast and Logan. Our platform aggregates official QLD Traffic feeds to help you navigate the bridges and tunnels of the River City.
M1 Pacific Motorway
Monitor the state's busiest road. Track real-time feeds on the primary link between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Essential for checking the morning crush at Eight Mile Plains and the Springwood merge.
Story Bridge & CBD
Keep an eye on the icon. Monitor the flow across the Story Bridge and the approaches from Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo Point. Vital for inner-city navigation.
Gateway Motorway (M1 North)
View cameras on the orbital bypass. Monitor the Gateway Bridge toll plaza and the heavy freight route connecting to the Port of Brisbane and Brisbane Airport.
Western Freeway (M5)
Check conditions on the main link to the western suburbs. A perennial hotspot for morning rush hour delays entering the Legacy Way tunnel.
Commuter Radar
Visual confirmation of queue lengths at the critical river crossings that dictate the speed of the city's movement.
Weekend Watch
Track the Friday afternoon exodus to the Sunshine Coast (north) and Gold Coast (south).
Tunnel Vision
Specialized monitoring of the Clem7, Airport Link, and Legacy Way tunnels.
Strategic Mobility: The River Challenge
Brisbane's geography requires strategic bridge choices.
- Captain Cook Bridge (M3): The busiest. If it jams, the Riverside Expressway (REX) gridlocks.
- Gateway Bridge (M1): The toll alternative. Use our cameras to decide if the toll is worth the time savings during peak hour.
M1 Upgrades
The M1 is in a constant state of upgrade. Watch for construction zones and narrowed lanes between Yatala and Springwood.
Navigating the Commute
- Morning Rush: Heavy inflow from Logan and Ipswich.
- School Traffic: The "school run" in Brisbane has a massive impact on surface street congestion, particularly in the inner-west.
Beat the M1 Car Park
Don't get stuck on the Pacific Motorway. Check the live cameras and find a time slot or an alternative route.
VIEW M1 CAMERAS →Safety and Weather
Queensland is the Sunshine State, but it also sees severe storms.
- Summer Storms: Sudden, violent thunderstorms can cause flash flooding on low-lying roads like Coronation Drive.
