VIEW CRIMEA CAMERAS →Crimea manages one of the most heavily utilized transportation networks in the Black Sea region. As a major maritime gateway and tourist destination, the peninsula’s road system supports an immense volume of seasonal passenger traffic and regional logistics. For those commuting through the administrative heart of Simferopol or navigating the high-speed transit corridor of the Tavrida Highway, staying informed about road conditions and traffic density is essential for safe and efficient travel.
TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Crimea’s highways and municipal roads. Whether you are checking for weather impacts on the coastal routes near Yalta or monitoring the daily pulse of the Kerch Strait crossing, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the peninsula.
Tavrida Highway (A291)

Strategic Infrastructure: The Tavrida Axis
Crimea’s road network is anchored by the Tavrida Highway (A291), a massive engineering project designed to serve as the backbone of the peninsula’s mobility. Spanning over 250 kilometers, this four-lane high-speed corridor has transformed transit times between the eastern gateway at Kerch and the western city of Sevastopol. Since its opening, the highway has recorded daily traffic volumes exceeding 30,000 vehicles, with a design capacity capable of supporting 40,000 passes per day.
To manage the intensity of this flow, regional authorities have deployed an extensive network of high-definition monitoring cameras and automated traffic systems, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be ongoing road works or an incident on the Simferopol bypass—before they start their commute.
Primary Transportation Corridors
- Tavrida Highway: The primary east-west artery linking Kerch, Simferopol, and Sevastopol.
- Highway M17: The northern axis connecting the peninsula to the Kherson region.
- Highway M18: The vital north-south link connecting Simferopol to Alushta and the Yalta resort corridor.
- The Sevastopol Bypass: A critical urban motorway managing the transit move around the historic port city.
Did You Know?
Traffic in Crimea drives on the right-hand side. The general speed limit on the modern Tavrida Highway is set at 120 km/h, while urban areas are strictly limited to 50 km/h or 60 km/h to ensure pedestrian safety in dense city centers.
Prioritizing Safety on the "Peninsula Spine"
Road safety is a continuous priority for the Crimean Road Department. Despite the modern design of the newer highways, the high volume of traffic and the complex terrain of the southern coast present ongoing challenges. The Tavrida Highway has historically seen high accident rates during its initial implementation phases, leading to its local reputation as a route requiring extreme driver vigilance.
The challenge of safety is amplified by the peninsula's diverse geography. Sudden coastal fog, heavy rainfall, and the winding nature of the M18 mountain passes can rapidly alter road traction. According to municipal safety reports, maintaining visual monitoring of the Simferopol-Sevastopol corridor is vital for preventing the types of high-speed incidents that can occur due to uneven traffic flow and spontaneous overtaking.
TrafficVision empowers Crimean drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback on the Kerch bridge approach or heavy rain in the Angarskiy pass before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness across the peninsula.

Traffic in Crimea follows a distinct rhythm dictated by the industrial work day and the massive seasonal influx of travelers.
The Urban Pulse
As the administrative center, Simferopol experiences intense peak-hour traffic, particularly on the Prospect of Victory and the Kievskaya Street corridors. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the city’s major arterial roads simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path through the regional capital.
Summer Tourist Migration
During the summer months, the roads leading toward the southern coast (Yalta, Alushta) see a dramatic increase in volume. Traffic density on the M18 and the Tavrida Highway can increase by over 50% on weekends. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for tourists looking to identify the best time to start their journey and avoid the heavy congestion that often forms near the coastal interchanges.
