Nusa Tenggara Barat Traffic Cameras: 350+ Live Cams

Nusa Tenggara Barat (West Nusa Tenggara), comprising the major volcanic islands of Lombok and Sumbawa, serves as one of Indonesia’s most important tourism and agricultural provinces. As the home to the world-renowned Mandalika International Street Circuit and several vital inter-island ports, the region’s road network handles a unique blend of tourist traffic, local commuter flow, and heavy logistics serving the maritime terminals. The roads connecting the ports of Kayangan and Poto Tano are the lifelines of the province, making real-time monitoring through street cameras an essential tool for cross-island transit.

With over 350+ live cameras integrated into the TrafficVision platform, drivers can now scan the entire West Nusa Tenggara road network before starting their journey. Whether you are navigating the morning rush in Mataram, heading towards the airport from Kuta Mandalika, or moving freight across the Sumbawa interior, our real-time feeds provide the visibility needed to handle the region’s island-specific traffic patterns and tropical weather.

Strategic Hub: The West Nusa Tenggara Road Network

Nusa Tenggara Barat’s traffic patterns are defined by its island geography. According to regional transportation data, the commute from the Lombok International Airport to the major hubs varies significantly: reaching Kuta Mandalika typically takes 30 minutes, while the journey to Senggigi can take up to 2 hours. Traffic on Lombok is generally slow-moving, with average speeds around 40 km/h, making efficient routing essential for both residents and visitors.

The maritime link between Lombok and Sumbawa represents the most significant node in the regional infrastructure. The ferry journey between Kayangan Port and Poto Tano Port takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, but congestion at the terminals can often double total transit time during peak export seasons. Real-time monitoring through street cameras allows logistics operators to identify these stationary queues at the ports and adjust their departure schedules accordingly.

Urban Logistics and Daily Flow

Mataram, as the provincial capital and primary economic hub, experiences the region’s highest localized congestion. The intersections serving the central business district and the routes leading to the Lembar Harbor are frequent hotspots for traffic. Real-time monitoring through our 350+ live street cameras allows drivers to identify these backups early and choose alternative routes through the city’s evolving street system.

By using our interactive map, drivers can visually confirm road conditions across both islands. This professional-grade visibility is essential for navigating the regions of steep volcanic terrain, where road surfaces can be subject to landslides and localized flooding during the intense tropical rainstorms of the monsoon season.

Navigating the Volcanic Archipelago: Key Routes

Beyond the main airport and port corridors, Nusa Tenggara Barat’s local road network serves the region’s intensive agricultural and pearl farming industries. The roads connecting Mataram to Praya, Selong, and Sumbawa Besar carry significant regional traffic.

The Trans-Sumbawa Highway

The Trans-Sumbawa Highway is the backbone of the province’s eastern half. Stretching over 400 kilometers, it connects the remote western ports to the administrative centers of the east. The journey from Poto Tano to Sumbawa Besar typically takes around 3 hours. Monitoring this route in real-time allows drivers to avoid the unannounced maintenance works and weather-related delays that are common in the island’s mountainous interior.

Mataram’s Urban Approaches

The provincial capital, Mataram, has a street layout that funnels traffic towards the major government and educational centers. Congestion near the Udayana Street and the routes leading to the Ampenan district can impact the entire city’s flow. Using the TrafficVision interactive map, you can zoom into these specific neighborhood interchanges to see if the morning rush is starting early.

Safety and Road Resilience in the Tropics

The combination of extreme volcanic terrain and tropical weather patterns requires constant vigilance from drivers. According to road safety research, real-time visual information is a key factor in reducing driver stress and preventing accidents in low-visibility or high-gradient conditions. TrafficVision brings this professional-grade visibility to the everyday driver in West Nusa Tenggara, ensuring everyone has the data they need to stay safe and informed on the road.
