Live Ho Chi Minh City Traffic Cameras & Urban Monitoring
Navigate Vietnam's economic powerhouse with over 300 live traffic cameras across Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). From the motorcycle tidal waves of District 1 to the industrial arteries of Thu Duc City and the critical Saigon River bridges, get a real-time view of gridlock, monsoon flooding, and port logistics 24/7.
VIEW HCMC CAMERAS →Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) manages one of the most intense and dynamic traffic environments on Earth. With a population exceeding 9 million and an estimated 7.5 million motorbikes, the city's streets are a constantly flowing river of vehicles. The urban fabric is defined by the contrast between the colonial grid of District 1 and the sprawling industrial zones of the newly formed Thu Duc City.
According to local transport data, HCMC faces severe congestion, with average travel speeds dropping below 20 km/h during peak hours. The city is also battling climate challenges, with "high tides" and monsoon rains frequently causing street-level flooding that paralyzes traffic. Our platform aggregates official feeds to help you navigate the chaos, whether you're a daily commuter or a logistics manager moving goods to Cat Lai Port.
District 1 (City Center)
Monitor the historic and commercial heart. Track real-time feeds near Ben Thanh Market, Nguyen Hue Walking Street, and the Ton Duc Thang waterfront road. Essential for avoiding tourist and office-hour gridlock.
Saigon Bridge & Hanoi Highway
Keep an eye on the city's primary northeastern gateway. This corridor connects the city center to the tech parks and residential zones of Thu Duc, handling massive volumes of both bikes and container trucks.
Thu Duc City & Cat Lai Port
View cameras in the logistics powerhouse. Monitor the heavy truck queues on Dong Van Cong and Mai Chi Tho streets leading to Vietnam's busiest container port.
Tan Son Nhat Airport Access
Check conditions on Truong Son street and the chaotic intersections leading to SGN Airport. Vital for ensuring you don't miss your flight due to the notorious "airport bottleneck."
Moto-Tide Precision
Cameras optimized to capture the sheer density of motorbike traffic, which behaves like a fluid dynamic rather than standard lane traffic.
Flood Watch
Visual confirmation of street flooding during heavy rains and high tides (Trieu Cuong), helping you avoid waterlogged engines.
Metro Construction Radar
Track the impact of ongoing Metro Line construction barriers on major arterials like Cach Mang Thang Tam.
Strategic Mobility: The Saigon Pulse
Traffic in HCMC follows a rhythmic "tide." The morning rush (6:30-8:30 AM) sees millions of motorcycles flooding into the center from the suburban districts of Go Vap and District 7. The evening rush (5:00-7:30 PM) reverses this flow, often compounded by sudden tropical downpours.
Key Commuter Corridors:
- Vo Van Kiet Boulevard: The east-west highway running along the canal, offering a faster (but often crowded) alternative to surface streets.
- Nguyen Huu Canh: A notorious flood-prone road that serves as a critical link to the expat-heavy Thao Dien ward.
The "Lead" Ninja Phenomenon
Saigon traffic is famous for its "organized chaos." While it looks intimidating, it follows an organic flow. Our cameras help you see the speed of the flow—if the "river" of bikes stops moving, you know there is a major blockage ahead.
Navigating the Logistics Hub
HCMC is not just a commuter city; it's a massive port. The roads leading to Cat Lai Port in District 2 (now Thu Duc) are dominated by container trucks. The Phu My Bridge is a critical link for this heavy freight, connecting the eastern zones to the southern industrial districts. Commuters on motorbikes need to be hyper-aware of truck blind spots on these routes.
Avoid the Port Gridlock
Don't get stuck behind a mile of container trucks. Check the live cameras on Mai Chi Tho and find a cleaner route.
VIEW PORT CAMERAS →Safety and Weather
The biggest threat to HCMC traffic is water.
- Monsoon Rains: A 30-minute downpour can render key intersections impassable for motorcycles.
- High Tides: Twice a month, tidal flooding affects low-lying districts like District 7 and Binh Thanh, even when it hasn't rained. Our cameras are the best way to verify if a road has turned into a river.
Can I see traffic cameras for Tan Son Nhat Airport?
Yes. We provide feeds for the critical Truong Son street approach and the Lang Cha Ca roundabout, helping you gauge the time needed to reach the terminal.
How do I check for flooding?
Search for flood-prone areas like "Nguyen Huu Canh" or "Thao Dien." If you see bikes pushing through water or avoiding the curb lanes, assume flooding is active.
Are there cameras in Thu Thiem?
Yes, we cover the new urban area and the Thu Thiem 2 Bridge, monitoring the developing link between District 1 and the new financial center.
Is TrafficVision free to use in Vietnam?
Yes. TrafficVision provides 100% free access to all 300+ live feeds in Ho Chi Minh City. No subscription is required.
