About Lincoln Traffic Cameras
Lincoln is Nebraska's state capital and second-largest city, home to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and a growing population that has pushed past 290,000 residents. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Lincoln enjoys one of the most efficient transportation networks in the United States, with an average one-way commute of just 18.5 minutes—nearly 10 minutes shorter than the national average of 26.6 minutes.
I-80 runs along Lincoln's southern edge, serving as the primary east-west highway corridor. The interchange at I-80 and US-77 is the busiest junction in the Lincoln area, handling commuters traveling between south Lincoln neighborhoods and the highway system. Safety remains a top priority for the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT); in 2022 alone, Lancaster County recorded 6,942 traffic crashes, and preliminary 2024 data shows 35 traffic fatalities in the county, highlighting the critical importance of real-time road monitoring for residents and through-travelers.
Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) found that access to real-time traveler information systems can reduce incident-related delays by as much as 40% by enabling drivers to avoid bottlenecks before they become trapped in highway gridlock.
US-77 functions as Lincoln's primary north-south expressway, running from I-80 in the south through the western side of the city and continuing north. The highway was upgraded to expressway standards in phases, and the corridor now provides limited-access travel through much of Lincoln. The US-77 and West O Street interchange is a critical junction, connecting the expressway to one of Lincoln's most heavily traveled east-west routes.

O Street is Lincoln's defining east-west arterial. Running from the far western edge of the city through downtown and the UNL campus before continuing east past 84th Street, O Street carries heavy traffic volumes throughout the day. The stretch between 27th Street and 48th Street through the UNL campus and commercial core is particularly congested during midday and evening hours. The O Street and 27th Street intersection is one of the highest-volume signalized intersections in the city.
Cornhusker Highway (US-6) enters Lincoln from the northeast, cutting diagonally across the city's grid pattern and creating unusual intersection geometries as it approaches downtown. The corridor serves as a primary route for travelers arriving from Omaha on US-6 and for access to the Haymarket District and Memorial Stadium area. On Nebraska football game days, Cornhusker Highway becomes one of the most congested routes in the city as fans converge on the stadium from all directions.
27th Street runs north-south through the center of Lincoln, intersecting nearly every major east-west route. From Yankee Hill Road in the south to Cornhusker Highway in the north, 27th Street provides access to SouthPointe Pavilions, the Bryan Health campus, UNL East Campus, and numerous commercial nodes. The corridor experiences sustained congestion during both morning and evening rush periods.
Game Day Traffic
On UNL football Saturdays, expect significant congestion on Cornhusker Highway, 10th Street, and Salt Creek Roadway beginning 2-3 hours before kickoff. Stadium Drive and the Haymarket area can be gridlocked. Use cameras to find alternate routes through residential streets.
84th Street has emerged as Lincoln's eastern growth corridor, with extensive commercial development driving traffic volumes higher each year. The stretch from O Street south to Pioneers Boulevard includes big-box retail, restaurants, and medical facilities that generate heavy turning movements and midday congestion. The 84th Street and O Street intersection regularly backs up during weekend shopping hours.
Weather and Seasonal Considerations
Lincoln's location in the Great Plains means drivers face a wide range of weather-related hazards throughout the year. Winter brings ice storms, blowing snow, and occasional blizzard conditions that can reduce visibility to near zero on I-80 and other exposed corridors. The Nebraska Department of Transportation operates a network of cameras specifically to monitor winter road conditions, and these feeds are available through our platform.
Nebraska winters bring sudden ice storms and ground blizzards. I-80 west of Lincoln is particularly exposed to high winds and blowing snow. Always check camera feeds before traveling during winter weather advisories.
Summer thunderstorms can produce flash flooding, particularly along Salt Creek and its tributaries that run through Lincoln. Low-lying underpasses on Cornhusker Highway and near the Salt Creek floodway should be monitored during heavy rainfall events. Hail events, common in central Nebraska, can create sudden traffic hazards as drivers pull over under overpasses.
