Our platform aggregates feeds from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) 511 system and municipal authorities, giving you comprehensive coverage of traffic conditions across one of America's fastest-growing regions. These cameras are part of the world's largest traffic camera directory with 135,000+ live feeds from 600+ official sources.
Whether you're planning your commute to Research Triangle Park (RTP), checking current road conditions on the Beltline, or monitoring traffic for a game at NC State, our Raleigh traffic camera network provides real-time visibility into the region's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from major routes including I-40, I-440, I-540, US-1, US-64, US-70, US-401, and the Triangle Expressway. In addition to highway views, users can monitor live street cameras and road-level feeds along Glenwood Avenue and Capital Boulevard to check for surface street backups.
Research Triangle Road Safety
In 2024, Raleigh recorded 38 traffic fatalities, part of a broader trend that sees an average of 103 traffic-related deaths annually in Wake County. Speeding and distracted driving remain significant factors, contributing to nearly 40% of serious accidents statewide. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital safety tool for identifying incident locations early and navigating around the region's high-volume corridors, particularly during the occasional ice storms that can rapidly compromise road conditions.

Navigating the Raleigh area requires an understanding of "distributed" traffic patterns that differ from traditional single-core cities.
RTP & Event Traffic Alerts
- The Multi-Directional Rush: Unlike radial cities, Raleigh experiences heavy congestion in multiple directions as workers travel toward Research Triangle Park from all parts of the metro simultaneously.
- I-40 RTP Bottleneck: The stretch between I-440 and RTP is consistently the most congested in the state; always check cameras here before 7:30 AM or 4:30 PM.
- October State Fair: The western Beltline (I-440) near the fairgrounds experiences extreme, unpredictable gridlock for two weeks every October.
- Game Day Surges: NC State football games and events at PNC Arena create massive surges near the I-440/Wade Avenue interchange.
