VIEW PODKARPACKIE CAMERAS →Podkarpackie Voivodeship serves as a critical gateway between the European Union and Eastern Europe. Managed by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), the region's road network supports an immense volume of international freight and local transit. For those commuting through the capital city of Rzeszów or heading toward the border crossings at Przemyśl and Korczowa, staying informed about the flow on the A4 and the development of the S19 is essential for safe and efficient travel.
TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Podkarpackie’s national and regional road systems. Whether you are checking for winter conditions in the Bieszczady Mountains or monitoring heavy vehicle queues on the A4, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through southeastern Poland.
A4 Motorway: The East-West Link
Monitor the primary corridor connecting Poland to Ukraine. These cameras cover the A4 from the regional border through Rzeszów to the Korczowa-Krakovets crossing, providing visibility into one of Poland's most strategic routes.
S19 Expressway (Via Carpatia)
Keep an eye on the developing north-south axis. Monitor the active segments of the S19, including the high-volume Rzeszów-Babica stretch, which handles over 18,000 vehicles daily.
Rzeszów Urban Traffic
Stay updated on the capital city's streets. View live feeds from Rzeszów's major intersections and the bypass roads that manage the intersection of the A4 and S19 routes.
Border Crossing Corridors
View live feeds from the roads leading to major international gateways. Essential for monitoring traffic volume and weather impacts near the crossings in Przemyśl, Medyka, and Barwinek.
Border Queue Alerts
Real-time monitoring of the A4 motorway leading to the Ukrainian border, essential for tracking heavy freight volume and wait times.
Mountain Pass Feeds
Visual confirmation of road conditions in the southern Bieszczady region, vital for monitoring winter snow and ice impacts on regional routes.
High-Performance Grid
Scan multiple expressway interchanges simultaneously with our mobile-optimized interface, perfect for long-distance route planning.
Strategic Infrastructure: A4 and the S19 Development
The Podkarpackie road network is anchored by two massive infrastructure projects. The A4 Motorway serves as the horizontal spine of the region, providing a high-speed link from Western Europe directly to the Ukrainian border. Complementing this is the S19 Expressway, part of the international Via Carpatia route, which is transforming the north-south connectivity of the voivodeship.
According to GDDKiA Rzeszów, the expansion of the S19 is a regional priority. As of late 2024, over 81 kilometers of the expressway are in use, with the final segments toward the Barwinek border projected for completion by 2031. This development is vital for managing the region's growing traffic; for instance, the S19 segment between Rzeszów and Babica has seen volumes exceed 18,000 vehicles per day, with projections suggesting a near-doubling of traffic by 2035.
Primary Transportation Corridors
- A4 Motorway (E40): The primary international artery connecting Rzeszów to Przemyśl and the border at Korczowa.
- S19 Expressway (Via Carpatia): The future north-south backbone linking the Baltic states to Southern Europe via Podkarpackie.
- DK94: The national road that serves as a free alternative to the A4, passing through major towns like Łańcut and Jarosław.
- DK19: The traditional route toward the Slovakian border at Barwinek, essential for commercial transit through the mountains.
Did You Know?
Traffic in Podkarpackie drives on the right-hand side. Effective February 1, 2026, the A4 motorway and selected sections of the S19 in the region are subject to new tolls for vehicles exceeding 3.5 tons, making real-time route planning even more critical for commercial drivers.
Promoting Safety through Situational Awareness
Road safety in Podkarpackie is a point of regional pride. Between 2014 and 2021, the voivodeship recorded a fatality rate of 4.49 per 100,000 residents, which is one of the lowest rates in Poland. However, as international transit increases, the GDDKiA remains focused on maintaining these safety standards through modernized monitoring and infrastructure.
National statistics highlight the ongoing challenges; in 2021, Poland recorded 2,245 fatalities on its roads, with excessive speed contributing to over 40% of incidents. In Podkarpackie, the winding mountain roads in the south and the high-speed merges on the A4 require constant driver vigilance.
TrafficVision empowers Podkarpackie’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at a border terminal or heavy fog in the Bieszczady mountains before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden weather changes and heavy traffic congestion.

Bieszczady Winter Travel
The southern part of the voivodeship is home to the Bieszczady Mountains, where winter conditions can make regional roads DK19 and DK28 hazardous. Our cameras at high-elevation junctions provide vital visibility into snow clearance status and surface traction, ensuring travelers are prepared for mountain driving.
