The Strategic Importance of Lohja's Road Network
Lohja serves as a critical transportation hub between the Greater Helsinki metropolitan area and the western coast of Finland. Its geography, defined by the expansive Lake Lohja and its location at the intersection of major federal highways, creates a unique and high-volume traffic environment. The VT1 (E18) is the backbone of the region, functioning as the primary link for international trade and domestic transit.
According to data from Fintraffic, the highways in the Lohja area handle significant daily traffic, with segments of the VT1 seeing over 35,000 vehicles per day near the urban interchanges. Real-time visual monitoring via TrafficVision is the most effective tool for drivers to navigate the frequent peak-hour congestion and identify weather-related delays before they impact the commute.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Safety and Winter Road Conditions
Road safety is a top priority in Southern Finland, especially during the long months of winter darkness and ice. The region's terrain, combined with the proximity to Lake Lohja, can lead to sudden changes in road surface clarity and visibility. By utilizing our Grid View, commuters and logistics professionals can monitor multiple cameras along the VT1 and VT25 simultaneously, identifying plowing progress or black ice hazards.
Research into Finnish traffic safety emphasizes that real-time camera access is a vital tool for driver situational awareness, particularly in regions where wildlife crossings (deer and moose) are frequent. In Lohja, where the highways pass through extensive forested areas, this visual intelligence is a critical safety component for identifying hazards in the early morning or late evening hours.
Seasonal Patterns and Commuting
Lohja's traffic follows a distinct rhythm driven by both the metropolitan cycle and the regional tourism industry.
- Helsinki Commute: Intense peak-hour volume on the VT1 eastbound in the morning and westbound in the afternoon.
- Summer Lakeside Travel: Increased traffic on regional roads during the summer months as visitors head to Lake Lohja and the local apple orchards.
- Winter Transit: Slower average speeds and increased demand for road surface monitoring from November through April.
Can I see the traffic in the Lohja tunnels?
Yes! Our map includes cameras at the portals and approach roads for the major tunnels on the VT1 (Turku Motorway), providing a real-time view of traffic flow and tunnel status.
How often do the Lohja cameras update?
Most cameras provided by Fintraffic refresh every 5-10 minutes, with more frequent updates available during active winter storm events or maintenance operations.
