Randstad Transit Monitoring: Noord-Holland Live Traffic Cameras
Navigate the densest and most advanced road network in the Netherlands with our network of over 3,500 live traffic cameras. From the vital orbital link of the A10 Amsterdam Ring to the major corridors of the A2 and A4, monitor road conditions and urban congestion in real-time across the province of Noord-Holland.
VIEW NOORD-HOLLAND CAMERAS →Noord-Holland serves as the economic and administrative heart of the Netherlands. Managed by Rijkswaterstaat, the province's road network supports an immense volume of international transit, industrial logistics, and the daily pulse of nearly 3 million residents. For those commuting through the Amsterdam metropolitan area or heading toward Schiphol Airport and the port of IJmuiden, staying informed about the flow on the A9, A10, and A1 is essential for efficient travel.
TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Noord-Holland’s national motorways and provincial roads. Whether you are checking for maintenance delays on the Afsluitdijk or monitoring evening rush-hour queues on the Coen Tunnel approach, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the Randstad.
A10: The Amsterdam Ring
Monitor the 32-kilometer orbital freeway that encircles the Dutch capital. These cameras cover the A10 from the Coenplein through all major junctions (Amstel, Watergraafsmeer), providing visibility into the most utilized urban motorway in the country.
A2 & A4: The Southern Corridors
Keep an eye on the primary links to Utrecht and The Hague. Monitor the high-volume sections connecting Amsterdam to Schiphol Airport and the southern Randstad, where traffic density regularly exceeds 10,000 vehicles per hour per direction.
A7 & A9: North-South Connections
Stay updated on the routes linking Amsterdam to the northern districts and the Kennemerland region. These cameras are vital for monitoring the busy segments near Alkmaar, Purmerend, and the vital connection toward the Afsluitdijk.
Amsterdam Metropolitan Grid
View live feeds from the heart of the province. Monitor the complex urban intersections and tunnels (IJtunnel, Piet Heintunnel) that manage the daily movement of residents and visitors in the capital city.
Tunnel Safety Alerts
Real-time monitoring of Noord-Holland’s many sub-sea and urban tunnels, essential for tracking maintenance closures and incident-related blockages.
Schiphol Transit Feeds
Visual confirmation of road conditions near Europe's busiest aviation hub, ensuring clear passage for airport departures and arrivals.
High-Performance Grid
Scan dozens of Randstad interchanges simultaneously with our mobile-optimized interface, perfect for bypassing peak-hour gridlock.
Strategic Infrastructure: The Dutch Crossroad
Noord-Holland’s road network is a critical component of the trans-European transport system. The province manages a high concentration of national motorways (Rijkswegen), with the A10, A2, and A4 serving as the primary pillars of terrestrial movement. This infrastructure supports the world-class logistics of the Port of Amsterdam and the global connectivity of Schiphol Airport.
The scale of the network's utilization is immense. The A10 Zuid alone handles over 10,000 vehicles per hour during peak periods. To manage this intensity, Rijkswaterstaat utilizes a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and smart traffic systems, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the source of congestion—whether it be maintenance work on the A10 or an incident on the A9—before they become caught in 90-minute delays.
Primary Transportation Corridors
- A10 (Ring Amsterdam): The primary orbital axis managing the intersection of five major motorways (A1, A2, A4, A5, A8).
- A2 (E35): The major artery connecting Amsterdam to Utrecht, Eindhoven, and Southern Europe.
- A4 (E19): The critical link connecting Amsterdam to Schiphol Airport, Leiden, and The Hague.
- A7 (E22): The longest motorway in the Netherlands, connecting the Randstad to the northern provinces via the Afsluitdijk.
Did You Know?
Traffic in the Netherlands drives on the right-hand side. While the general daytime speed limit on motorways is 100 km/h (06:00-19:00), certain sections allow up to 130 km/h at night. Always check the live feeds for variable speed limit signs (matrixborden) that respond to current traffic volume.
Prioritizing Safety in a High-Density Province
Road safety is a continuous priority for the Provincie Noord-Holland and national authorities. The Netherlands consistently ranks among the safest countries in Europe for road users, thanks to high-quality infrastructure and rigorous enforcement. In 2024, Noord-Holland recorded approximately 19,915 traffic accidents, with authorities focused on reducing incidents in high-traffic zones like the Amsterdam Ring.
The challenge of safety is amplified by the sheer density of vehicles and the complexity of the province's many tunnels and bridges. Sudden weather changes, including North Sea squalls and heavy fog, can rapidly alter road traction. According to municipal safety reports, maintaining visual monitoring of the A10 on-ramps and the Schiphol tunnel approaches is vital for preventing the large-scale pileups that can occur during peak-hour transitions.
TrafficVision empowers Noord-Holland’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback on the A9 near Badhoevedorp or heavy rain on the A7 before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness across the province.

Traffic in Noord-Holland follows a highly predictable but intense rhythm, influenced by the daily commute and frequent large-scale maintenance projects.
The Amsterdam Rush
As the administrative and cultural heart of the country, the Amsterdam urban area experiences intense peak-hour traffic. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the A10, the S-roads, and the city’s major tunnels simultaneously, helping them find the most efficient path through the capital's busy districts.
Infrastructure Modernization
Noord-Holland is frequently the site of major roadwork, such as the multi-year reconstruction of the A9 and the A10 Zuid. These projects can cause journey times to increase by nearly 90 minutes during closure periods. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for residents looking to identify the impact of these projects in real-time and choose alternative routes through the provincial network.
