Guadeloupe Traffic Cameras: 450+ Live Cams

Guadeloupe, a French overseas department and region in the Caribbean, manages a complex and heavily utilized road network. Spanning approximately 2,800 kilometers, the infrastructure must support the daily movement of hundreds of thousands of residents and a thriving tourist population. For those commuting between the administrative capital of Basse-Terre and the economic center of Pointe-à-Pitre, staying informed about road conditions is essential for navigating the island's notorious bottlenecks.

TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Guadeloupe’s primary national and departmental roads. Whether you are checking for congestion on the La Gabarre Bridge or monitoring the winding mountain passes of the interior, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for an efficient journey.

Congestion Intelligence

Real-time monitoring of peak-hour traffic (7-9 AM) where a 40 km journey can take up to 2 hours without visual planning.

Tropical Resilience

Visual confirmation of road conditions after heavy Caribbean rain systems that can cause sudden localized flooding and landslides.

Unified Island View

Access camera feeds from both Basse-Terre and Grande-Terre through our high-performance, mobile-optimized map and grid views.

Strategic Infrastructure: Routes de Guadeloupe

The management of Guadeloupe’s extensive road network is the responsibility of Routes de Guadeloupe, a unique mixed syndicate established by the Guadeloupe Region and the General Council. This agency is tasked with the maintenance and operation of the national and departmental public road network, ensuring that the infrastructure keeps pace with the island's rapid urban development.

According to the Region Guadeloupe, the government is committed to continuous improvement: "The Region Guadeloupe intends to continue to invest heavily so that the population has safe transport networks and can circulate smoothly and easily, throughout the territory." This investment is clearly visible through the expanding network of traffic monitoring cameras that provide essential data for the DEAL (Direction de l'Environnement, de l'Aménagement et du Logement) to manage the island's 2,800 km of roads.

Primary Transportation Routes

1. RN1: The 59-kilometer lifeline of the archipelago, linking the two main islands across the Rivière Salée. It is the most utilized road in the French Antilles.
2. RN2: Connecting the northern coast of Basse-Terre, this route is vital for the agricultural and tourist movement in the western half of the department.
3. RN4: A 34-kilometer route that serves the southern coast of Grande-Terre, connecting the economic hubs to the island's primary resort destinations.
4. La Rocade (The Bypass): The urban bypass around Pointe-à-Pitre that manages the intersection of all major national routes.

Prioritizing Safety in a High-Volume Environment

Road safety is a critical area for policy intervention in Guadeloupe. The territory has seen a concerning upward trend in accidents and fatalities. In 2024, Guadeloupe recorded 616 accidents and 54 fatalities, representing a 35% increase in mortality compared to the previous year.

A significant portion of these fatal incidents occur on the national roads (RN1, RN2, RN4), often at night or over weekends. Factors such as excessive speed and the challenging, winding nature of the rural mountain roads contribute to the risks. According to recent forecasts, the number of persons injured in road accidents is projected to rise steadily toward 1000 annually by 2028 if current trends continue.

TrafficVision empowers Guadeloupe’s drivers to improve these outcomes through better situational awareness. By providing live visual confirmation of road conditions, we help motorists identify hazards, anticipate sudden stops in high-volume traffic on the RN1, and adjust their speeds before entering foggy mountain passes.

Navigating Peak Hours and Coastal Congestion

Traffic in Guadeloupe follows a predictable but intense rhythm, particularly for those commuting into the economic hubs of Jarry and Pointe-à-Pitre.

The Commuter Challenge

Peak morning hours typically run from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM. During this window, a 40-kilometer journey from northern Basse-Terre to Jarry can take between 1.5 to 2 hours. Our cameras on the RN1 and RN2 are essential tools for commuters looking to identify the exact moment the "rush" begins and plan their departures accordingly.

Island Isolation

Many towns on Grande-Terre, such as Saint-François and Sainte-Anne, are served by narrow, two-lane roads that lead to the island's center. These routes can easily become isolated by even minor accidents. Use TrafficVision’s Grid View to monitor these coastal corridors simultaneously, ensuring you have a clear path before heading out.
