KwaZulu-Natal Traffic Cameras: Live Road Monitoring from the Berg to the Sea
Access 1,200+ live traffic cameras throughout the province of KwaZulu-Natal. From the high-volume N3 corridor connecting the coast with Gauteng to the critical N2 coastal highway and the busy urban streets of Durban, monitor traffic flow and road conditions in real-time 24/7.
VIEW KZN MAP →KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) features one of the most critical road networks in Southern Africa, serving as the primary logistics link between the Port of Durban and the industrial heartland of South Africa. For commuters in Durban and Pietermaritzburg and travelers navigating the "holiday corridor" to the coast, real-time visual data is an essential tool for avoiding the region's frequent bottlenecks and weather-related delays.
TrafficVision provides a unified platform to access 1,200+ camera feeds from SANRAL, the N3 Toll Concession (N3TC), and various municipal sources. Whether you're checking for a queue at the Marianhill Toll Plaza or monitoring rain on the Van Reenen's Pass, our platform delivers instant insight into KZN's transit landscape.
Durban & the EB Cloete Interchange
Monitor the province's busiest junction, the "Spaghetti Junction." Track the convergence of the N2 and N3, essential for navigating the heart of Durban's commercial and transit network.
N3 Corridor (Durban-PMB)
Track conditions along South Africa's primary freight artery. Monitor the heavy traffic between Durban and Pietermaritzburg, including the notorious Town Hill and Peacevale stretches.
N2 Coastal Highway
View cameras along the primary north-south coastal link. Monitor traffic toward the North Coast (uMhlanga, Ballito) and the South Coast (Amanzimtoti, Port Shepstone).
Pietermaritzburg & the Midlands
Monitor the provincial capital and the key transit routes heading toward the Drakensberg and Gauteng. Vital for tracking weather conditions through the rolling hills of the interior.
Strategic Oversight of the KZN Road Network
The KwaZulu-Natal road network is managed primarily by SANRAL (South African National Roads Agency), which oversees massive upgrade projects designed to alleviate long-term congestion. As of 2025, the N2 and N3 are undergoing significant transformations, with the EB Cloete Interchange receiving extensive enhancements to improve travel efficiency (Source: SANRAL).
The N3 corridor remains the undisputed backbone of the system, handling extreme volumes of heavy vehicle traffic moving goods from the Durban terminals. During the festive seasons, these volumes surge as millions of "Upcountry" travelers head to the coast, often pushing the Marianhill and Mooi River toll plazas to their capacity (Source: Arrive Alive).

Navigating the Coastal Gridlock
Driving in the Durban metropolitan area presents unique challenges. In 2025, the TomTom Traffic Index reported that Durban drivers face an average travel time of nearly 20 minutes for a short 10 km journey, with congestion peaking significantly on Friday afternoons (Source: TomTom).
TrafficVision's Interactive Map allows KZN drivers to stay ahead of the gridlock. By zooming into the uMhlanga Ridge junctions or checking the Grid View for the N2 southern approaches, you can confirm whether a reported accident is worth a detour through city roads like the M4 before you start your commute.
