Live Nice Traffic Cameras & Riviera Monitoring
Navigate the capital of the French Riviera with over 200 live traffic cameras across Nice.

VIEW NICE CAMERAS →Nice is the jewel of the Côte d'Azur, but its traffic can be as intense as its summer sun. Wedged between the Alps and the Mediterranean, the city's road network is constrained by geography. The A8 Motorway runs through the hills, serving as the only high-speed link between Italy, Monaco, and the rest of France. Down below, the Voie Pierre-Mathis (Voie Rapide) acts as the city's internal spine, bypassing the dense surface streets.
According to TomTom, Nice drivers lose over 84 hours annually to congestion, making it one of the most traffic-clogged cities in France. The summer influx of tourists compounds the daily struggle of commuters heading to Sophia Antipolis or Monaco. Our platform aggregates official feeds to help you find the clearest path to the beach or the mountains.
A8 "La Provençale"
Monitor the Riviera's lifeline. Track real-time feeds on the hillside motorway. Essential for checking delays at the Nice-Nord and Nice-Ouest toll plazas and the tunnels toward Italy.
Voie Pierre-Mathis (Voie Rapide)
Keep an eye on the urban bypass. This elevated expressway runs east-west through the city center. A crash here causes immediate gridlock on the surface streets below.
Promenade des Anglais
View cameras on the world-famous waterfront. Monitor traffic flow near the airport and the city center beaches. Watch out for closures during events like the Carnival or Ironman.
Port of Nice Access
Check conditions near the ferry terminal. Visual confirmation of queues for the Corsica ferries on the Quai du Commerce.
Tourist Radar
Track the summer saturation on the coastal roads leading to Villefranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
Monaco Commute
Specialized monitoring of the "Moyenne Corniche" and "Basse Corniche" routes used by daily cross-border workers.
Mountain Access
Check visibility on the M6202 (Route de Grenoble) heading toward the Mercantour ski resorts.
Strategic Mobility: The Corniche Options
Driving east toward Monaco? You have three choices, and our cameras help you pick the winner.
- Grande Corniche: The highest, fastest, and most scenic, but prone to fog.
- Moyenne Corniche: The direct commuter route, often jammed at Eze.
- Basse Corniche: The coastal road. Beautiful, but painstakingly slow in summer.
Event Closures
The Promenade des Anglais is frequently closed for marathons, carnivals, and Bastille Day fireworks. Always check the live feeds before attempting to drive along the seafront on weekends.
Navigating the Commute
- Morning Rush: Heavy volume entering from the west (Cagnes-sur-Mer) and the north (Carros).
- Sophia Antipolis: The tech park traffic creates massive jams on the A8 west of the city every weekday morning.
Beat the Riviera Rush
Don't get stuck in the A8 toll queue. Check the live cameras and find a route through the hills.
VIEW HIGHWAY CAMERAS →Safety and Weather
- Flash Floods: Autumn storms ("Épisodes Méditerranéens") can cause rapid flooding on the Voie Rapide and airport roads.
