Newark's road network is a complex intersection of national interstates and local urban arteries. As the gateway to New York City and home to one of the world's busiest airports, the city experiences massive commuter flows and heavy commercial truck traffic from the Port of Newark. Users can also monitor live street feeds along Broad Street and Market Street to check for road-level gridlock near the major arena events or transit hubs. One incident on the Pulaski Skyway or the Newark Bay Bridge can paralyze regional transit. TrafficVision.Live provides free access to over 580+ feeds, giving you ground-truth visibility into road conditions in real-time.
