VIEW CURACAO CAMERAS →Curacao, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, combines Dutch efficiency with Caribbean vibrancy in its transportation network. As the largest of the ABC islands, Curacao manages a concentrated road system that supports a high density of local and tourist vehicles. For residents and visitors alike, staying informed about the flow on the "Ring" and the status of the island’s critical bridges is essential for safe and efficient travel.

The Backbone of Curacao: The Queen Juliana Bridge
The most iconic and vital piece of infrastructure in Curacao is the Queen Juliana Bridge. Spanning St. Anna Bay at a height of 56.4 meters (185 feet), it is one of the tallest bridges in the world and the highest in the Caribbean. Opened in 1974, the bridge is a "crucial traffic link" that connects the administrative and commercial districts of Punda and Otrobanda.
According to reports from the Public Works Service (OW), maintaining the bridge's stability in a marine environment is a continuous priority. Officials have stated that while the structure is "good and stable," the use of specialized materials like Bestone® crushed stone for the asphalt surface is necessary to provide the "high skid resistance" required for safety in the island's challenging climate.
By monitoring the Queen Juliana Bridge cameras, drivers can identify bottlenecks early. As a major thoroughfare, even a minor incident on the bridge can extend commute times by 20 to 40 minutes across the entire Willemstad area.
Key Traffic Corridors
- Schottegatweg: The primary ring road that encircles the Schottegat bay, serving as the main artery for most island-wide movement.
- Schottegatweg Noord: A particularly busy segment of the ring road that has historically accounted for approximately 3.3% of recorded accidents on the island.
- Cas Coraweg: A vital inland route connecting residential areas to the commercial center.
- Weg naar Westpunt: The long-distance route leading to the northern beaches and the Christoffel National Park.
Did You Know?
Traffic in Curacao drives on the right-hand side of the road. The Queen Juliana Bridge is exclusively for vehicular traffic—pedestrians and cyclists are not allowed due to the height and high wind exposure.
Promoting Road Safety and Driver Awareness
Road safety is a significant area of focus for the Curacao government and Forensys (formerly Curacao Road Services N.V.), the agency responsible for handling accident reports. The island has seen a recent increase in traffic-related incidents, with 12 road fatalities recorded in the first half of 2025, compared to 10 during the same period in 2024.
Unsafe driving behaviors, particularly speeding on main roads like the Schottegatweg, are frequently cited as the primary causes of accidents. TrafficVision helps address this by providing drivers with the ability to "look ahead." Visual confirmation of heavy traffic or a blocked lane allows motorists to slow down in advance, reducing the likelihood of rear-end collisions that are common during the island's rush hours.

VIEW THE LIVE MAP →Navigating Peak Hours and Tourist Traffic
Curacao’s traffic follows a distinct daily rhythm influenced by the work day and the arrival of massive cruise ships.
Rush Hour Windows
Peak traffic typically occurs between 7:00 AM – 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM. During these times, the Schottegatweg and the approaches to the Queen Juliana Bridge see their highest volumes. Our cameras allow you to identify exactly when the queues begin to dissipate, helping you time your departure for a faster journey.
The Cruise Effect
Willemstad is a premier Caribbean cruise destination. On days when multiple ships are moored in St. Anna Bay, pedestrian and tour bus traffic in the Otrobanda and Punda districts increases significantly. Our city-center cameras are essential for locals looking to avoid the most tourist-heavy corridors.
