Kalimantan Selatan Traffic Cameras: 350+ Live Cams

Kalimantan Selatan, situated on the southeastern coast of Borneo, serves as the most important transportation and logistics gateway for the island’s southern interior. As a major hub for the coal mining, palm oil, and forestry industries, the region’s road network handles immense volumes of heavy freight and regional commuter traffic. The Trans-Kalimantan Highway Southern Route, which stretches nearly 4,000 kilometers across the island, is the lifeline of the province, making real-time monitoring through street cameras an essential tool for logistics and safety.

With over 350+ live cameras integrated into the TrafficVision platform, drivers can now scan the entire South Kalimantan road network before starting their journey. Whether you are navigating the busy intersections of Banjarmasin, heading towards Banten via the maritime links, or moving coal along the Martapura corridor, our real-time feeds provide the visibility needed to handle Borneo’s intense traffic and tropical weather.

Strategic Hub: The South Kalimantan Road Network

Kalimantan Selatan’s traffic patterns are defined by its role as a regional gateway. According to data from the Dinas Perhubungan (Dishub), the road network handles some of the highest freight intensities in Indonesia. The Trans-Kalimantan Highway is the most significant artery, facilitating the movement of raw materials and imported goods between the deep-water ports and the interior settlements.

Congestion is a growing challenge in the region, particularly during holiday periods and the harvest season. Historical incidents on the Martapura-Astambul road have seen 15-kilometer journeys take over two hours due to stationary traffic. Real-time monitoring through street cameras allows drivers to identify these holiday-related bottlenecks early and choose alternative regional routes.

Industrial Logistics and Daily Flow

The province is a major center for the global coal industry, and the movement of heavy mining equipment creates intense localized traffic. The Dishub Banjarmasin provides detailed metrics for city intersections, including the Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratio and Level of Service (LoS). Real-time monitoring through our 350+ live street cameras allows logistics operators to coordinate the movement of large-scale components and ensure that supply chains remain operational despite the challenges of tropical rain and intense humidity.

By using our interactive map, drivers can visually confirm road conditions across the province. This professional-grade visibility is essential for navigating the regions of peatland and river delta, where road surfaces can be subject to rapid deterioration and localized flooding during the monsoon season.

Navigating the Southern Interior: Key Routes and Hotspots

Beyond the main national highway, Kalimantan Selatan’s local road network serves the region’s growing service and agricultural sectors. The roads connecting Banjarmasin to Banjarbaru, Martapura, and Pelaihari carry significant regional traffic.

The Banjarbaru-Banjarmasin Corridor

The road connecting the regional capital to the administrative city of Banjarbaru is the most heavily used route in the province. It serves as the primary link for the Syamsudin Noor International Airport and several major government offices. Monitoring this corridor in real-time allows commuters to avoid the unannounced maintenance works and weather-related delays that are common along the coastal plain.

Martapura and the Resource Routes

The city of Martapura, famous for its gemstone industry and its position on the road to the coal fields, is a significant generator of traffic. The intersections serving the town center can become rapidly congested as transit freight meets local trade flow. Using the TrafficVision interactive map, you can zoom into these specific neighborhood points to see if the morning rush is starting early.

How TrafficVision Enhances Regional Transit

TrafficVision is designed to take the guesswork out of navigating the Indonesian archipelago. By aggregating feeds from 350+ live cameras, we provide the ground truth of road conditions in real-time.

Route Builder for Cross-Regional Travel

If you are traveling from Banjarmasin to Balikpapan, Palangkaraya, or across the Java Sea to Banten, the Route Builder is your best friend. Plot your journey across the national highways and regional A-roads, and see every camera in sequence. This allows you to visually verify road closures and weather conditions that traditional navigation apps might not yet have updated.

Favorites and Grid View

For those who drive the same route every day, the Favorites feature allows you to bookmark your most critical cameras, such as the major river bridges or the airport exit. Using the Grid View, you can scan these feeds in seconds, giving you an immediate overview of your entire commute before you even leave your driveway.

Safety and Road Resilience in the Tropics

The combination of intense freight traffic and tropical weather patterns requires constant vigilance. According to road safety research, real-time visual information is a key factor in reducing driver stress and preventing accidents during the frequent heavy downpours and low-visibility conditions of the tropics. TrafficVision brings this professional-grade visibility to the everyday driver in South Kalimantan, ensuring everyone has the data they need to stay safe and informed on the road.
