About Salem Traffic Cameras
TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 110+ live traffic cameras throughout Salem and Marion County. Our platform aggregates feeds from the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) 511 system and municipal authorities, giving you comprehensive coverage of traffic conditions across the "Cherry City." Traffic safety is a key focus for the region, particularly as ODOT reports have identified I-5 near Salem as a corridor with a higher frequency of truck-involved crashes.
Whether you're planning your commute to the State Capitol, checking current road conditions on the Marion Street Bridge, or monitoring weekend traffic heading to the coast, our Salem traffic camera network provides real-time visibility into the region's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from major routes including I-5, OR-22, OR-99E, Commercial Street, and Lancaster Drive. Commuters can also monitor live street views along Commercial Street and Lancaster Drive to avoid surface street delays when the river crossings are gridlocked.

CREATE YOUR ROUTE →Oregon Capital Traffic Dynamics
Navigating the Salem area requires an understanding of infrastructure that serves state government workers, Willamette Valley freight, and coastal recreational surges. A 2019 survey of state employees in the Capitol Mall area revealed that nearly 40% of the workforce commutes from outside the immediate Salem vicinity, with 28% expressing regular frustration with their travel times.
Bridge & Coast Traffic Alerts
- Willamette Bridge Chokepoint: The Marion Street and Center Street bridges are the primary bottlenecks; any minor incident here cascades delays throughout the entire downtown grid. ODOT identifies OR 221 in West Salem as a major area of recurring heavy congestion, especially in the southeast direction during peak periods.
- Coast Surges: Friday afternoons (westbound) and Sunday evenings (eastbound) on OR-22 see extreme surges as recreational travelers head to and from the coast.
- State Government Rush: Downtown Salem experiences sharp traffic pulses at 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM during state office shift rotations.
- Bridge Icing: Elevated bridge decks across the Willamette freeze earlier than surface roads during the rainy, near-freezing nights of Oregon winter.
