Iraq is a country undergoing a historic transformation of its urban and national infrastructure. From the bustling streets of Baghdad to the high-speed expressways connecting the Persian Gulf to the northern mountains, our platform provides instant access to 2,500+ live traffic cameras across the country. Monitor the essential Highway 1 and major city centers 24/7 with real-time feeds.
VIEW IRAQI CAMERAS →The Iraqi road network is managed with increasing modernization by the State Commission for Roads and Bridges (SCRB) and the Ministry of Construction and Housing. With Baghdad's metropolitan area now hosting over 7 million residents and the number of vehicles in the capital estimated at seven times the network's design capacity, having real-time visibility is essential for navigating the region's intense congestion. TrafficVision aggregates official feeds to give you the same strategic visibility used by traffic managers across the Republic.
Highway 1 (Freeway 1)
Monitor the nation's primary transit artery. Stretching 1,130 km from Basra to the Syrian border, these cameras are essential for tracking the flow of Iraq's most critical industrial and commercial link.

Master the Strategic Gateway of Mesopotamia
Iraq's transport landscape is defined by its rapid urban growth and its role as a vital segment of the Middle Eastern transit corridor. According to data from the World Bank, road transport handles over 70% of all traffic volume in the country. For drivers in Baghdad, where the average one-way commute can exceed 53 minutes, having real-time data is a vital tool for managing the daily gridlock.
TrafficVision addresses these challenges by providing a unified view of the national camera network. In a city like Erbil, where the Erbil-Koya highway handles over 49,000 vehicles daily, having real-time information is essential. By viewing the official street cameras, you can see the actual density of traffic on the major radial highways, allowing you to choose the most efficient travel window through the historic heart of Mesopotamia.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Key Motorways and Strategic Infrastructure
The backbone of the Iraqi transport system consists of high-capacity highways that serve as the primary links for both citizens and international commerce:
- Highway 1 (The Expressway): The lifeline of the country, connecting the southern port of Umm Qasr to the Syrian border. Our cameras cover the strategic sections through the central and southern marshes.
- Highway 2: The primary link to Turkey, connecting Baghdad to the major northern hubs of Kirkuk, Erbil, and Mosul.
- The Baghdad Ring Road: A critical infrastructure project designed to alleviate urban congestion by allowing transit vehicles to bypass the city center.
Recent research indicates that the intensity of traffic in the major cities continues to challenge the existing capacity, highlighting the growing importance of real-time monitoring to manage the load on the nation's infrastructure.

Iraq's climate can significantly impact traffic patterns. During the summer, intense heat can lead to road surface challenges and impact vehicle performance. In the winter, sudden heavy rains in the south and snow in the northern mountains can lead to immediate closures of major highways. Our cameras allow you to visually verify road surface conditions and visibility before you head out, ensuring you only travel when it is safe to do so.
Additionally, the SCRB frequently undertakes reconstruction projects to modernize the nation's bridges and interchanges. By checking the live feeds on TrafficVision, you are accessing the same visual data that supports these national infrastructure initiatives, allowing you to identify active work zones and any temporary diversions before they impact your journey across the Republic.
