VIEW DAEGU CAMERAS →Daegu is South Korea's fourth-largest city and a major inland industrial center famous for its textile industry and apples. Located in a basin surrounded by mountains, the city is known as "Daefrica" for its sweltering summer heat, which can impact road surfaces and vehicle performance. The traffic network is defined by the Sincheon-daero, a vital urban expressway that runs alongside the Sincheon stream, and the Gyeongbu Expressway, the nation's primary artery connecting Seoul to Busan.
With a population of over 2.3 million, Daegu manages a dense urban core. Recent smart city initiatives have improved traffic flow, but bottlenecks remain frequent at the major river crossings and industrial access points. Our platform aggregates official feeds to help you avoid the heat and the traffic jams.
Sincheon-daero Expressway
Monitor the city's central spine. This urban highway runs north-south along the river, serving as the primary commuter route for Suseong-gu and Buk-gu. It is the single most critical road for avoiding surface street lights.
Gyeongbu Expressway (Daegu Section)
Keep an eye on the national lifeline. Monitor the heavy flow of freight and intercity travelers passing through the North Daegu and East Daegu interchanges.
Dong-daegu Station Hub
View cameras near the KTX station and the massive Shinsegae Department Store. This area is a perennial hotspot for shopping and transit traffic, especially on weekends.
Industrial Complex Access
Check conditions in the Dalseo-gu industrial zones. Monitor the movement of textile and machinery freight on the western perimeter roads.
Heatwave Watch
Visual confirmation of road conditions during Daegu's extreme summer temperatures, which can exceed 35°C (95°F) for weeks.
Basin Transit
Monitor the orbital roads that manage traffic entering and exiting the geographic bowl of the city.
Transit Hub Integration
Cameras focused on the approaches to Dong-daegu, one of Korea's busiest rail stations.
Strategic Mobility: The Basin Commute
Daegu's geography traps heat and traffic. The Sincheon-daero is the solution for most drivers, allowing rapid transit across the basin without hitting traffic lights. However, an accident here ripples instantly across the city.
- Morning Rush: Heavy flow from the residential Suseong district toward the industrial west and the city center.
- Palgongsan Access: On weekends, the roads leading north to Palgongsan Natural Park become crowded with hikers and temple-goers.
Smart Traffic Management
Daegu is a leader in intelligent transport systems (ITS). The city uses AI to adjust signal timing. Our cameras give you a view of the results—if traffic is moving smoothly on the main boulevards despite volume, the smart signals are doing their job.
Navigating the Textile Hub
Daegu remains a center for fashion and textiles. The movement of raw materials and finished goods creates steady truck traffic on the Jungang Expressway and the western industrial roads. Drivers should be aware of heavy vehicles in the Dalseo-gu area.

Don't bake in a traffic jam. Check the live cameras on Sincheon-daero and find the fastest, coolest route home.
