Live Gothenburg Traffic Cameras & Port Logistics Monitoring
Navigate Scandinavia's industrial heart and busiest port city with over 1,500 live traffic cameras across Gothenburg (Göteborg). From the critical E6 corridor connecting Oslo to Copenhagen to the congestion tax zones of the city center and the heavy freight routes of Hisingen, get a real-time view of West Coast weather and commuter flows 24/7.
VIEW GOTHENBURG CAMERAS →Gothenburg is the logistical backbone of Sweden, home to the largest port in the Nordic countries and major automotive heavyweights like Volvo. The city's road network is a critical junction where the E6 (north-south) and E20 (east-west) highways meet, handling an immense volume of international freight and regional commuters. To manage this density, Gothenburg implements a Congestion Tax (Trängselskatt) system during weekdays, aimed at reducing gridlock in the city center and on the Essingeleden-equivalent bypasses.
According to the TomTom Traffic Index, congestion in Gothenburg has been rising, with an average level of 34% in 2025. Drivers lose approximately 71 hours annually to rush-hour traffic. The geography of the city, split by the Göta Älv river, creates natural bottlenecks at the few bridge and tunnel crossings available. Our platform aggregates official Trafikverket feeds to help you navigate these pinch points efficiently.
E6 Corridor (Tingstad Tunnel)
Monitor the city's most critical bottleneck. Track real-time feeds at the Tingstad Tunnel approaches, a notorious choke point for both local commuters and international transit traffic.
Port of Gothenburg Access
Keep an eye on the freight lifelines. Monitor the heavy truck volumes on the routes leading to the RoRo terminals and container ports on Hisingen island.
City Center Congestion Zone
View cameras inside the Trängselskatt boundary. Check conditions on the avenues near the Central Station and the Avenue (Avenyn) to gauge urban density before paying the toll.
E20 & Highway 40 (East)
Check conditions on the main commuter links from Partille and Borås. Essential for monitoring the morning rush into the city from the eastern suburbs.
Industrial Hub Precision
Access feeds from the heart of "Volvo City" and the logistical corridors that drive the Swedish economy.
Toll Zone Intelligence
Visual confirmation of traffic density at the congestion tax control points, helping you decide if the drive is worth the fee.
West Coast Weather
Monitor the frequent rain and strong winds from the North Sea that can impact safety on the Älvsborg Bridge.
Strategic Mobility: The River Crossing Challenge
Gothenburg's traffic is defined by the river crossings.
- Tingstad Tunnel: The older, central tunnel that frequently jams. Any incident here causes immediate city-wide gridlock.
- Marieholm Tunnel: The newer relief tunnel. Use our cameras to compare flow between Tingstad and Marieholm to choose the faster river crossing.
- Älvsborg Bridge: The high western bridge, susceptible to wind closures but a vital bypass for the port areas.
Congestion Tax Strategy
The congestion tax applies M-F, 06:00-18:29. While you can't avoid the tax if you need to enter the zone, you can avoid paying to sit in a jam. Use our cameras to check if the "single charge rule" window (60 mins) will be enough to get you through your route.
Navigating the Event City
Gothenburg is Sweden's event capital, hosting massive gatherings at Ullevi Stadium, the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre, and Liseberg amusement park.
- Event Surges: During Gothia Cup or major concerts, the E6 and E20 exits near Liseberg become parking lots. Monitoring these cameras allows you to take the extensive public transport network instead.
Beat the Tunnel Queues
Don't get stuck under the river. Check the live cameras at the Tingstad and Marieholm tunnels to find the fastest crossing.

The West Coast climate is wet and windy.
- Aquaplaning: Frequent rain makes the E6 ruts dangerous. Cameras help assess spray levels and visibility.
- Winter: Snow is less frequent than in Stockholm but often wetter and slushier, leading to treacherous "black ice" conditions on bridges.
Can I see traffic at the Volvo Torslanda plant?
Yes. We provide feeds for the major access roads on Hisingen, helping employees and logistics drivers navigate the industrial district.
How do I check for bridge closures due to wind?
Search for "Älvsborg Bridge" on our map. If the bridge is closed or restricted, the cameras will show halted traffic and warning signs.
Are the Gothenburg traffic cameras live?
Yes, our platform aggregates real-time feeds from Trafikverket, providing updates every minute to show current road conditions.
Is TrafficVision free to use in Sweden?
Yes. TrafficVision provides 100% free access to all 1,500+ live feeds in Gothenburg and across Sweden. No subscription is required.
