Mesa Traffic Cameras
Mesa is Arizona's third-largest city and a critical hub for the East Valley's transportation network. From the heavy flow of the US-60 Superstition Freeway to the strategic connectors of Loop 101 and Loop 202, navigating Mesa requires more than just a GPS. Our interactive map provides real-time access to live street feeds and intersection cameras throughout the Heritage District and East Valley commercial hubs. Use our live camera network to monitor real-time road conditions, avoid the "Superstition crawl," and stay ahead of Mesa's frequent traffic incidents.
VIEW MESA CAMERAS →Mesa serves as a vital bridge between Phoenix, Tempe, and the rapidly growing communities of Gilbert and Apache Junction. With over 500,000 residents, the city's infrastructure is constantly tested by heavy commuter volume; according to U.S. Census data, Mesa residents face an average one-way commute of 27.6 minutes. Recent studies from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) highlight the intense pressure on the region's freeway network, particularly along the Loop 202 corridor, which handles as many as 169,000 vehicles daily in segments near the Loop 101 interchange.
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%, making traffic cameras an essential tool for drivers navigating the high-volume interchanges of the East Valley.
Safety remains a paramount concern for regional planners; a comprehensive MAG study identified the Loop 101 and Loop 202 junction area as a significant bottleneck, recording 8,164 crashes over a recent five-year period—averaging more than four incidents every single day.
Major Mesa Traffic Corridors
Mesa's traffic is dictated by three primary freeway systems and a series of high-volume arterial streets that serve as the backbone of the East Valley.
US-60: Superstition Freeway
200+ cameras
The busiest east-west corridor in Mesa, handling over 300,000 vehicles daily. Congestion is heaviest at the Loop 101 interchange and the transition to the I-10. Monitor these cameras for the infamous "Superstition crawl" during morning and evening rush hours.
Loop 202: Red Mountain & Santan
180+ cameras
The Loop 202 wraps around the north and east sides of Mesa. The Red Mountain portion serves commuters heading toward Scottsdale and Phoenix, while the Santan portion provides vital access to South Mesa and Gilbert.
Loop 101: Price Freeway
100+ cameras
Forming Mesa's western border with Tempe, the Loop 101 is a critical connector for the East Valley's tech and education hubs. It is frequently congested throughout the day due to its role as a regional bypass.
Mesa Arterial Grid
40+ cameras
Major surface streets like Main Street, Broadway Road, and Mesa Drive are essential for cross-town travel. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Main Street and Broadway Road to check for road-level gridlock near the Mesa Arts Center or local events. These cameras help you gauge traffic flow when freeway alternatives are needed.

The "Superstition Crawl"
The US-60 through Mesa is one of the most congested stretches of highway in Arizona. The bottleneck at the Loop 101 interchange often creates backups that stretch miles into Mesa. Checking the cameras before you pass the Country Club Drive or Mesa Drive exits is essential for deciding whether to bail to surface streets.
Loop 202 & SR-87 Connector
The northern portion of Mesa is served by the Loop 202 Red Mountain Freeway and State Route 87 (Country Club Drive). This area sees significant spikes in traffic during weekend getaways as travelers head north toward Payson and the Rim Country.
Spring Training Impacts
Mesa is home to two major MLB Spring Training facilities: Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs) and Hohokam Stadium (Oakland Athletics). During February and March, expect heavy localized congestion on the Loop 101, US-60, and surrounding surface streets near Rio Salado and Center Street.
Commuter Strategy
When the US-60 is stalled, Southern Avenue and Baseline Road serve as the most effective east-west alternatives through Mesa. While they have stoplights, they often move faster than a gridlocked freeway.
