VIEW PASADENA CAMERAS →Pasadena, California, is a historic and world-renowned city positioned at the strategic northern gateway of the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Home to the legendary Rose Bowl Stadium and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), Pasadena serves as a critical transit hub for those moving between the San Fernando Valley, the Inland Empire, and downtown LA. With its unique geography nestled against the San Gabriel Mountains and a limited number of high-capacity freeway links, managing the flow of traffic across its interchanges and arterial streets is essential for regional mobility.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from Caltrans and the City of Pasadena Department of Transportation (PDoT), providing a comprehensive view of the California camera network. Whether you're navigating the morning rush toward the Westside or heading to a concert at the Rose Bowl, our live street cameras help you bypass the most notorious bottlenecks in real-time.
I-210 Foothill Freeway
The primary artery for Pasadena commuters. Monitor traffic through the high-volume Pasadena segments from the 134 interchange through to Sierra Madre.
SR-134 Ventura Freeway
Keep an eye on the critical west-bound link. Essential for travelers moving between Pasadena, Glendale, and the San Fernando Valley.
SR-110 Arroyo Seco Pkwy
The historic parkway link to downtown LA. Monitor local gridlock leading into the "South Pas" district and the major intersections at Glenarm Street.
Colorado Boulevard
Pasadena's main commercial and ceremonial artery. Monitor local gridlock around the Old Pasadena district and major intersections near the Rose Parade route.

Strategic Mobility in the San Gabriel Valley
The traffic landscape in Pasadena is a coordinated effort between Caltrans and the Pasadena Department of Transportation. The region handles some of the highest daily volumes in Southern California; the I-210 segment through central Pasadena alone handles an average of over 320,000 vehicles daily.
While Pasadena residents enjoy a relatively stable average commute of 28.1 minutes, the complexity of the "Pasadena Interchange" (where the 210, 134, and 710 stub meet) can cause sudden delays of 30 minutes or more. Real-time monitoring is a vital daily tool. Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) suggests that live traffic camera feeds can reduce secondary accident rates by up to 30%. By spotting a backup at the Lake Avenue exit early, you can use our route builder to find a faster alternative through local arterials or the Metro A Line corridor.

OPEN INTERACTIVE MAP →Key Commute Patterns and Event Impact
Traffic in Pasadena is heavily influenced by the "outbound morning, inbound evening" pattern common to high-employment residential hubs. Peak morning hours (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM) see extreme volume on I-210 and SR-134 heading west and south, while the evening rush (4:00 PM – 6:30 PM) brings that volume back toward the mountains.
The Rose Bowl Stadium remains one of the most critical chokepoints in the region during major events. With a capacity of 90,000 and limited canyon access points, stadium traffic can paralyze local roads like Rosemont Avenue and Seco Street. Our grid view allows you to monitor these multiple access points side-by-side, helping you decide if taking the shuttle or parking in Old Pas is your best option today. This is especially vital during the annual Rose Parade on New Year's Day, where massive road closures impact the entire downtown grid.
Pro Tip: Metro A Line Crossings
Commuters should pay close attention to the cameras near the Metro A Line (Gold Line) rail crossings in downtown Pasadena. During peak hours, multiple trains can cause surface street traffic queues lasting up to 15 minutes. A quick visual check of the California Boulevard or Del Mar Boulevard cameras can help you avoid these timed bottlenecks.
