VIEW KING CAMERAS →The Township of King serves as a critical pressure point in Ontario’s provincial road network. Managed by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO) and the York Region Transportation Department, the township’s infrastructure is dominated by the Highway 400 corridor. This hub supports an immense volume of international freight, regional commuter transit, and the daily pulse of the Greater Toronto Area’s northern expansion. For those navigating the high-speed corridors toward Barrie or heading west toward Orangeville, staying informed about road conditions and potential bottlenecks at the King junctions is essential for safe and efficient travel.
TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official MTO camera feeds across King’s provincial highways and regional roads. Whether you are checking for winter snow accumulation near the King Road interchange or monitoring heavy vehicle volume on the route to the Holland Marsh, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the heart of York Region.

Strategic Infrastructure: The Highway 400 Gateway
King’s road network is a critical component of the Ontario transport system. The township manages a high-utilization segment of Highway 400, which serves as the primary link between the City of Toronto and the recreational and industrial hubs of the north. This infrastructure is complemented by Highway 9, a vital east-west link that provides a high-capacity alternative for transit moving across the northern Greater Toronto Area.
The scale of the network's utilization is significant, particularly for industrial transit. According to MTO reports, the 400-series highways are subject to continuous monitoring to ensure they meet the rigorous demands of the province's heavy freight and commuter traffic. To manage this intensity, authorities utilize a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and the Compass smart traffic system, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of delays—whether it be winter maintenance operations or a heavy vehicle incident near King Road—before they start their commute.
Primary Transportation Corridors
- Highway 400: The primary north-south artery linking King to Vaughan and Toronto in the south and Barrie in the north.
- Highway 9: The major east-west link connecting the township to the Highway 400 corridor and the western Simcoe County towns.
- King Road (Regional Road 11): The vital regional route serving the residential cores of King City and Nobleton.
- Highway 27: A critical north-south alternative providing access to the industrial and residential areas of the western York Region.
Did You Know?
Traffic in Canada drives on the right-hand side. In the King region, the general speed limit on the Highway 400 dual-carriageway is 100-110 km/h, but this is strictly reduced near major interchanges and through construction zones to ensure the safety of all road users.
Prioritizing Safety in the Northern GTA
Road safety is a continuous priority for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and regional authorities. Ontario maintains high safety standards, but the high-speed highways present unique seasonal hazards. In 2023, the province recorded 411 fatalities on its highways, marking one of the deadliest years in over a decade. In the King region, the combination of high-speed transit on the 400 and the intense winter weather patterns requires constant driver vigilance.
The challenge of safety is amplified by the frequency of multi-vehicle incidents during adverse weather. Highway 400 has historically seen major "pile-up" events involving over 100 vehicles during sudden whiteout conditions. According to safety reports, maintaining visual monitoring of the high-speed highway segments is vital for preventing the types of secondary accidents that can occur due to sudden stops. TrafficVision empowers King’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the Lloydtown-Aurora Road interchange or heavy snow on the 400 before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness.

Traffic in King follows a distinct rhythm dictated by the GTA work day and the massive seasonal movement of travelers toward "Cottage Country."
The Commuter Pulse
As a key residential hub for the northern GTA, King experiences concentrated peak-hour traffic, particularly at the Highway 400 and King Road interchange. During the morning and evening peaks, travel times through the township can increase significantly as workers move between their homes and the economic centers of Vaughan and Toronto. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the main radial routes and highway junctions simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path through the regional bottlenecks.
Northern Gateway Flow
Being situated on the primary gateway to Northern Ontario, King’s traffic is heavily impacted by the seasonal movement of recreational travelers. During the summer months and long weekends, volume on Highway 400 can reach extreme levels. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for drivers looking to identify the best time to start their journey and avoid the heavy weekend "up north" traffic that often forms near the regional interchanges.
