VIEW NORTH EAST DERBYSHIRE CAMERAS →North East Derbyshire, England, is a vital residential and industrial anchor positioned at the strategic gateway of the Peak District and the South Yorkshire border. Surrounding the major town of Chesterfield and serving as the primary transit point for those moving between Sheffield, Nottingham, and the Midlands, North East Derbyshire handles an immense daily volume of regional commuters. With over 61% of residents commuting outside the district and the M1 motorway serving as the region's singular high-capacity spine, managing the flow of traffic across its interchanges and arterial A-roads is essential for maintaining the region's economic vitality.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from National Highways and local municipal sources, providing a comprehensive view of the United Kingdom camera network. Whether you're navigating the morning rush toward Salford or heading to a hike in the Dronfield district, our live street cameras help you bypass the most notorious bottlenecks in real-time.
M1 Motorway
The primary artery for North East Derbyshire commuters. Monitor traffic through the high-volume segments from Junction 29 (Heath) through to Junction 31 (Barlborough). Check for new emergency area construction in real-time.
A61 (Chesterfield Rd)
Keep an eye on the critical north-south link. Essential for travelers moving between Chesterfield, Sheffield, and Alfreton. Monitor local gridlock near the Hornsbridge roundabout.
A617 (Hasland Bypass)
The vital eastern gateway. Monitor local gridlock around the Chesterfield bypass and the major interchanges leading into the M1 corridor.
Dronfield Bypass
A major northern link serving the residential and industrial heart of Dronfield. Keep an eye on traffic flow through the major junctions at Bowshaw and toward the Sheffield city limits.

Strategic Mobility in the East Midlands
The traffic landscape in North East Derbyshire is a coordinated effort between National Highways and the Derbyshire County Council. The region handles some of the highest daily volumes in the England regional network; the M1 segment through the district serves as a critical component of the national freight network, connecting the industrial North to the London markets.
While North East Derbyshire residents benefit from a relatively efficient average commute of approximately 27 minutes, the complexity of the A61 corridor and M1 smart motorway sections can cause sudden delays. Real-time monitoring is a vital daily tool for residents. Research suggests that live traffic camera feeds can reduce secondary accident rates by up to 30%. By spotting a backup at the Barlborough interchange early, you can use our route builder to find a faster alternative through local B-roads or the regional rail corridors.

OPEN INTERACTIVE MAP →Key Commute Patterns and Smart Motorway Impact
Traffic in North East Derbyshire is heavily dictated by the "outbound morning, inbound evening" pattern serving the Sheffield and Chesterfield workforces. Peak morning hours (7:30 AM – 9:00 AM) see extreme volume heading north toward the city core via the A61 and M1, while the evening rush (4:30 PM – 6:30 PM) brings that volume back toward the residential heart of the district.
The M1 Junction 30 to 31 area remains one of the most monitored bottlenecks in the region, especially with ongoing projects to install additional emergency areas. Our grid view allows you to monitor these multiple gateway points side-by-side, helping you decide if taking the A61 is a better option today. This is especially vital during the Midlands' frequent autumn fog and winter rain events, which can suddenly impact visibility and road traction on the high-speed motorway spans.
Pro Tip: Hornsbridge Roundabout Strategy
The A61 north of Hornsbridge frequently experiences suppressed flow due to capacity limits, diverting traffic to the B6039 Hasland Road. Check our cameras at the roundabout before you leave; visual confirmation of queuing on the A61 can save you 15 minutes by allowing you to take the eastern bypass route instead.
