VIEW LYON CAMERAS →Lyon is the crossroads of Europe. Situated where the A6 (North) becomes the A7 (South), it funnels nearly all traffic moving between Northern Europe and the Mediterranean. The city's geography, dominated by the confluence of two rivers and two hills, creates natural choke points. The most famous is the Fourvière Tunnel, a passage that every French driver knows and fears.
According to TomTom, Lyon is one of the most congested cities in France, with drivers losing 77 hours annually to traffic. Our platform aggregates official Onlymoov feeds to help you decide whether to brave the tunnel or take the longer A46 bypass.
Fourvière Tunnel (A6/A7)
Monitor the city's most critical artery. Track real-time feeds at the tunnel portals. A queue here can stretch for kilometers, impacting the entire European vacation transit network.
A46 & Rocade Est (Bypass)
Keep an eye on the eastern alternative. Monitor the flow on the orbital highway. Essential for transit traffic wanting to avoid the city center gridlock.
Presqu'île & City Center
View cameras in the UNESCO-listed core. Monitor the bridges connecting the peninsula to the rest of the city.
A43 (Route to the Alps)
Check conditions on the gateway to the ski resorts. Critical for monitoring Friday evening and Saturday morning winter traffic.
Transit Hub Radar
Specialized monitoring of the "Autoroute du Soleil" corridor, the busiest holiday route in France.
Tunnel Vision
High-definition views of the tunnel entrances, helping you avoid closure-related gridlock.
Festival Watch
Track crowds and road closures during the massive Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights) in December.
Strategic Mobility: The Tunnel Choice
Driving through Lyon always comes down to one question: Tunnel or Bypass?
- Fourvière Tunnel: Faster if clear, but prone to immediate, heavy jams.
- A46 Bypass: Longer distance, but often more reliable during peak times. Use our grid view to compare both routes instantly.
The "Bison Futé" Days
On "Black Saturdays" in summer (Chassé-Croisé), Lyon becomes the bottleneck of France. Our cameras allow you to see the reality of the A7 congestion before you join it.
Navigating the Confluence
The meeting of the Rhône and Saône rivers creates a beautiful but constrained driving environment.
- Bridges: Bridge closures for maintenance or events can paralyze local districts.
- Part-Dieu: The business district around the station is a high-density zone.
Beat the Holiday Rush
Don't join the queue on the A7. Check the live cameras and choose the smartest route through the Rhône Valley.
