VIEW PERTH CAMERAS âPerth is a city stretched along the coast. Its traffic patterns are dominated by a single massive north-south axis: the Mitchell Freeway (serving the north) and the Kwinana Freeway (serving the south). These two roads meet at the Narrows Bridge, creating one of the most critical choke points in the city.
According to Main Roads WA, Perth's traffic volume continues to grow with the state's resource-driven economy. The Smart Freeway technology on the Kwinana Freeway aims to manage flow, but peak hours still see significant delays. Our platform aggregates official feeds to help you see if the "Smart" lanes are actually moving.
Kwinana Freeway (South)
Monitor the southern lifeline. Track real-time feeds on the smart freeway section from the Narrows Bridge to Roe Highway. Essential for checking the morning commute from Mandurah and Cockburn.
Mitchell Freeway (North)
Keep an eye on the northern corridor. Monitor the flow from Joondalup and the northern suburbs. Watch for congestion at the Hutton Street and Vincent Street exits.
Graham Farmer Freeway (Tunnel)
View cameras at the Northbridge Tunnel portals. This is the only major east-west bypass of the CBD. A tunnel closure here gridlocks the entire inner city.
Tonkin & Roe Highways
Check conditions on the "ring road" network. Vital for freight traffic and commuters bypassing the city center to reach the airport and industrial zones.
River Crossing Radar
Visual confirmation of traffic density on the Narrows Bridge and the Causeway, the only ways to cross the Swan River near the CBD.
Airport Link
Track the flow on Tonkin Highway leading to Perth Airport (PER), especially during the FIFO (Fly-in Fly-out) shift changes.
Smart Lane Watch
Monitor the status of the emergency stopping lanes on the Kwinana Freeway that open for traffic during peak times.
Strategic Mobility: The North-South Axis
Perth's geography forces nearly everyone onto the freeways.
- Narrows Bridge: The pinch point. If there is an accident here, the queue can stretch back to South Perth instantly.
- Smart Freeways: Use our cameras to see if the hard shoulder is open for running traffic (green arrows) or closed (red X).
The FIFO Effect
Perth's airport traffic spikes on Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons due to the Fly-in Fly-out mining workforce. Tonkin Highway can be unexpectedly busy during these shift windows.
Navigating the Sprawl
Perth is one of the most spread-out cities in the world.
- Morning Rush: 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM is intense on both freeways heading to the CBD.
- Afternoon: The outbound rush starts early, around 3:30 PM, especially on Fridays.
Beat the Freeway Crawl
Don't join the queue at the Narrows. Check the live cameras and consider taking the train from a Park & Ride.
VIEW FREEWAY CAMERAS âSafety and Weather
Perth has sunny weather, but the sun glare is a real hazard.
- Sun Glare: Driving east in the morning (Graham Farmer) or west in the evening can be blinding.
- Storms: Winter storms can bring heavy rain and strong winds, affecting stability on the high bridges.
