About Sacramento Traffic Cameras
TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 920+ live traffic cameras throughout Sacramento and the surrounding Valley communities. Our platform aggregates feeds from the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and regional authorities, giving you comprehensive coverage of traffic conditions across the "City of Trees." 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 the State Capitol, checking current road conditions on the Pioneer Memorial Bridge, or monitoring weekend traffic heading to Lake Tahoe, our Sacramento traffic camera network provides real-time visibility into the region's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from major routes including I-5, I-80, Business 80, US-50, SR-99, SR-160, and Sunrise Boulevard. Commuters can also monitor live street views along Sunrise Boulevard and other major arterials to avoid surface street delays when the major freeways are stalled.
California Road Safety
Road safety is an urgent priority for Caltrans, with deaths on California roads increasing by over 60% since 2010. In the Sacramento area, the high concentration of major freeway interchanges and extreme seasonal weather—including dense winter Tule fog—contributes significantly to local incident rates. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital safety tool for identifying hazardous visibility and incident locations before they lead to secondary collisions.

Navigating the Sacramento area requires an understanding of infrastructure that serves state government workers, Central Valley freight, and massive Sierra recreational surges.
Mixing Bowl & Tahoe Traffic Alerts
- The "Mixing Bowl" Chokepoint: The I-5/US-50/Business 80 interchange is consistently the metro's primary bottleneck; any minor incident here cascades delays across four different freeways.
- Sierra Weekend Surges: Friday afternoons (eastbound) and Sunday evenings (westbound) on US-50 and I-80 see extreme surges as recreational travelers head to and from the mountains.
- Elk Grove Commute: SR-99 northbound and I-5 northbound from Elk Grove experience some of the earliest-starting morning rush hours in the region (beginning at 6:15 AM).
- Tule Fog: During winter months, dense valley fog can reduce visibility to near-zero on SR-99 and rural I-5; always check cameras before leaving in the morning.
