VIEW NEW TAIPEI CAMERAS →New Taipei City (Xinbei) is a massive crescent-shaped municipality that surrounds the capital, Taipei. As Taiwan's most populous city with over 4 million residents, it serves as a vital residential, industrial, and recreational hub. The traffic landscape is defined by its role as a "commuter belt," with millions of residents traveling daily into Taipei City via a complex network of bridges and expressways. Additionally, New Taipei City is home to Taiwan's most famous scenic drives, including the winding mountain roads to Jiufen and the coastal routes along the Pacific Ocean.
According to the TomTom Traffic Index, New Taipei City faces unique congestion challenges, particularly on the bridges crossing the Tamsui River. The city's geography, which encompasses urban density, mountainous terrain, and coastline, requires a diverse monitoring network. Our platform aggregates official feeds from the New Taipei City Transportation Department and the MOTC, providing comprehensive visibility for both daily commuters and weekend adventurers.
Banqiao & Xinzhuang Hubs
Monitor the city's administrative and commercial cores. Track real-time feeds from the high-density districts of Banqiao and Xinzhuang, focusing on the approaches to the Banqiao Station and the New Taipei Blvd.
Provincial Highway 64 (East-West)
Keep an eye on the critical elevated expressway connecting Bali to Xindian. This route is essential for bypassing local traffic and accessing the National Freeways.
Tamsui & Northeast Coast
View cameras along the scenic Provincial Highway 2. Monitor weekend tourist traffic heading to Tamsui's Old Street and the coastal rock formations of Yehliu.
Mountain Roads (Jiufen & Wulai)
Check conditions on the winding mountain access roads. Essential for tracking tour bus congestion near Jiufen Old Street and weather conditions in the Wulai hot spring district.
Commuter Bridge Precision
Real-time monitoring of the critical Tamsui River crossings (Taipei Bridge, Zhongxiao Bridge) that handle the daily "scooter waterfall."
Coastal Safety
Visual confirmation of wave heights and road closures along the Northeast Coast during typhoon alerts.
Mountain Transit
Track visibility and congestion on the narrow roads leading to Taiwan's most popular mountain towns.
Strategic Mobility: The Commuter Crescent
New Taipei City's traffic patterns are heavily influenced by the daily migration to and from Taipei. The bridges connecting Sanchong, Luzhou, and Yonghe to the capital are some of the busiest in Asia. During the morning rush (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM), these "bridge bottlenecks" can see travel times triple.
Key Commuter Corridors:
- Taipei Bridge: Famous for its "scooter waterfall" during rush hour.
- Zhongxiao Bridge: A primary link for traffic heading to Taipei Main Station.
- Provincial Highway 65: A vital north-south connector linking the National Freeways to the urban districts.
The "Scooter Waterfall" Phenomenon
New Taipei City has one of the highest densities of scooters in the world. The morning commute across the Taipei Bridge creates a spectacular—and congested—flow of two-wheeled traffic. Use our bridge cameras to gauge the density of the scooter lanes before you join the flow.
Navigating the Scenic Routes
Beyond the urban core, New Taipei City manages huge swathes of recreational territory. The Provincial Highway 2 (Coastal Highway) is a favorite for weekend drives, but it is prone to congestion near Tamsui and Keelung. Similarly, the mountain roads to Jiufen and Shifen can become gridlocked with tour buses on weekends. Real-time monitoring allows tourists to time their visits to avoid the peak arrival and departure windows.

Avoid the Jiufen tour bus jams. Use our interactive route builder to see every camera along the mountain road and find the best time to visit.
BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Safety and Weather Resilience
New Taipei City's diverse geography makes it vulnerable to extreme weather. The coastal highways are subject to rogue waves during typhoon season, while the mountain roads in Wulai and Pinglin can experience landslides during heavy rain.
- Typhoon Monitoring: During typhoon alerts, the city often closes floodgates and restricts access to coastal roads. Our cameras provide the safest way to visually confirm conditions.
- Flood Watch: Monitor low-lying areas in Xizhi and Sanchong for rapid street flooding during summer thunderstorms.
