Chile Traffic Cameras: Live Monitoring Across the Longest Nation
Explore 1,200+ live traffic cameras throughout the Republic of Chile. From the high-speed Autopista Central in Santiago to the scenic coastal routes of Valparaíso and the expansive Route 5 (Pan-American Highway), monitor traffic flow and road conditions in real-time 24/7.
VIEW CHILE MAP →Chile's unique geography presents a challenging and diverse road network, stretching over 4,000 kilometers from the arid north to the glacial south. For the millions of residents in the Santiago metropolitan area and travelers navigating the vital north-south corridors, real-time visual data is an essential tool for avoiding the capital's legendary congestion and weather-related delays in the Andes.
TrafficVision provides a unified platform to access 1,200+ camera feeds from the Ministerio de Obras Públicas (MOP) and various highway concessionaires. Whether you're checking for a queue at the Angostura toll plaza or monitoring snow conditions on the International Road toward Argentina, our platform delivers instant insight into Chile's transit landscape.
Santiago & Metropolitan Region
Monitor the capital's heavy traffic across the Metropolitana region, including the Autopista Central (Norte-Sur), the Américo Vespucio ring road, and the Costanera Norte. Essential for navigating one of South America's most congested cities.
Route 5 (Pan-American Highway)
Track conditions along the nation's primary spine. Monitor the heavy freight and commuter flows connecting Santiago with the northern mining hubs and the agricultural south.
Valparaíso & the Central Coast
View 400+ cameras in the primary port city and along Route 68 (Santiago-Valparaíso). Monitor seasonal holiday traffic between the capital and the coastal resorts of Viña del Mar.
Biobío & the Lake District
Track conditions across the Los Lagos region, including Puerto Montt and Chiloé access. Monitor the bridges across the Biobío River and the primary transit routes toward Concepción and Talcahuano.
Strategic Oversight of the Chilean Road Network
The Chilean road system is one of the most advanced in Latin America, managed by the Ministerio de Obras Públicas (MOP) through its National Census Plan (PNCV). As of 2025, the network handles a sophisticated mix of urban and interurban traffic, with the Autopista Central and Américo Vespucio serving as the primary barometers for the capital's traffic health (Source: MOP).
The network is characterized by its high-quality concessioned highways, which utilize electronic tolling (TAG) to manage flow. Despite these systems, the sheer volume of vehicles—with light vehicles making up nearly 88% of traffic on major Santiago arteries—continues to push the limits of urban capacity.
Continental Scope
Detailed coverage from the Atacama Desert in the north to the Lake District (Los Lagos) in the south.
Santiago Insight
Real-time monitoring for a capital where drivers lose an average of 100 hours annually to congestion.
Andean Readiness
Visual confirmation of road surface conditions and visibility on the critical passes toward the border.
Grid Scanning
Use our Grid View to monitor multiple points along the Américo Vespucio ring road simultaneously.
Navigating Santiago's Urban Congestion
Santiago remains one of the most challenging cities for drivers globally. In 2025, international studies reported that drivers in the Chilean capital lost an average of 100 hours annually to congestion, with average speeds during peak hours dropping to just 21 km/h (Source: T13). Travel times for a short journey can increase by nearly 3 minutes for every kilometer during extreme peaks.
TrafficVision's Interactive Map allows Chilean drivers to stay ahead of the "tacos" (traffic jams). By zooming into the Costanera Norte junctions or checking the Grid View for the Autopista Central approaches, you can confirm whether a reported accident is worth a detour through surface streets like Avenida Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins.

Driving in Chile
Chile drives on the right side of the road. Motorways (Autopistas) are generally tolled using the TAG electronic system in Santiago or manual booths in regional areas. Speed limits are typically 120 km/h on motorways, 100 km/h on regular roads, and 50 km/h in urban areas.
