VIEW KANEOHE CAMERAS →Kaneohe, Hawaii, is a breathtaking coastal and residential community nestled against the dramatic backdrop of the Ko'olau Mountain Range. Serving as the primary gateway for Windward Oahu, Kaneohe handles an immense daily volume of commuters moving between the island's eastern shores and the urban core of Honolulu. With only three primary mountain passes connecting the Windward side to the leeward employment centers, managing the flow of traffic across the H-3, Pali, and Likelike highways is essential for maintaining the region's accessibility and resident quality of life.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from the Hawaii Department of Transportation (HDOT) and the City and County of Honolulu, providing a comprehensive view of the Hawaii camera network. Whether you're navigating the H-3 tunnels or heading to a shop at Windward Mall, our live street cameras help you bypass the most notorious bottlenecks in real-time.
H-3 Freeway (John A. Burns)
The state's most dramatic and reliable trans-mountain artery. Monitor traffic from the Kaneohe Interchange through the Harano Tunnels toward Pearl Harbor.
Pali Highway (HI-61)
Keep an eye on the critical scenic link to Honolulu. Essential for travelers moving between Kailua, Kaneohe, and the downtown city core. Check for high-wind alerts in real-time.
Likelike Highway (HI-63)
Kaneohe's busiest commuter route. Monitor local gridlock leading into the Wilson Tunnel and the major intersections with Kahekili Highway.
Kamehameha Highway (HI-83)
A vital coastal link serving the northern residential districts. Keep an eye on traffic flow through the growing suburban and rural sectors of Windward Oahu.

Strategic Mobility in Windward Oahu
The traffic landscape in Kaneohe is a coordinated effort between HDOT and the Honolulu Department of Transportation Services (DTS). The region handles significant volume; the H-3 Freeway segment west of the Halawa Valley Bridge alone has been measured at an AADT of over 46,000 vehicles, while the Pali Highway tunnels accommodate nearly 35,000 vehicles daily.
While Kaneohe offers a serene island lifestyle, the reality for many residents remains a commute that can easily double in time during peak hours. Real-time monitoring is a vital daily tool. Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) suggests that live traffic camera feeds can reduce secondary accident rates by up to 30%. By spotting a backup at the Kahekili interchange early, you can use our route builder to find a faster alternative through local A-roads or the newly completed rail corridor approaches in Kapolei.

OPEN INTERACTIVE MAP →Key Commute Patterns and Mountain Impact
Traffic in Kaneohe is heavily dictated by the "inbound morning, outbound evening" pattern common to Oahu's residential anchors. Peak morning hours (6:00 AM – 8:30 AM) see extreme volume heading toward Honolulu via the three main tunnels, while the evening rush (3:30 PM – 6:30 PM) brings that volume back toward the Windward side.
The Pali Highway (HI-61) remains one of the most monitored routes in the state, as it is prone to closures during high wind events. Our grid view allows you to monitor these multiple mountain passes side-by-side, helping you decide if taking the H-3 or the Likelike is your best option today. This is especially vital during Oahu's frequent heavy rain showers, which can cause sudden visibility issues and slick conditions on the steep mountain grades.
Pro Tip: High Wind Windward Strategy
Pali Highway frequently experiences wind gusts exceeding 60 mph through the Nuuanu Pali. Check our cameras and HDOT advisories before you commit to the route. If the Pali is restricted, the H-3 tunnels are protected from the wind and often provide the most reliable crossing during storm events.
