VIEW SALFORD CAMERAS →Salford, England, is a historic industrial powerhouse and a vital component of the Greater Manchester metropolitan area. Directly adjacent to Manchester city centre, Salford serves as a critical transit hub for those moving between the city core, MediaCityUK, and the major motorways of the North West. As part of a region where commuters lose an average of 126 hours annually to traffic congestion, managing the flow of vehicles on Salford's motorways and arterials is essential for regional mobility and resident quality of life.
TrafficVision aggregates feeds from National Highways and Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), providing a comprehensive view of the United Kingdom camera network. Whether you're navigating the Worsley Interchange or heading to a shop at the Lowry Outlet, our live street cameras help you avoid the most notorious bottlenecks in real-time.

Strategic Mobility in the North West
The traffic landscape in Salford is a coordinated effort between National Highways and the Salford City Council. The region handles immense volume; the M60 between Junctions 12 and 13 alone records an average 24-hour weekday volume of over 201,800 vehicles.
According to recent transport data, the average driving speed in the region during peak hours can fall to just 20.8 km/h. In an area where the M60 through Salford ranks among the worst 10% of national motorway links for reliability, real-time monitoring is a vital tool for daily life. Research suggests that live traffic camera feeds can reduce secondary accident rates by up to 30%. By spotting a backup at the Simister Island interchange early, you can use our route builder to find a faster alternative through local A-roads.

OPEN INTERACTIVE MAP →Key Commute Patterns and Bottlenecks
Traffic in Salford is heavily dictated by the "inbound morning, outbound evening" pattern common to major UK city neighbors. Peak morning hours (7:30 AM – 9:30 AM) see extreme volume on the M602 heading toward Regent Road, while the evening rush (4:00 PM – 6:30 PM) brings that volume back toward the Worsley Interchange.
The M60 Junction 12 (Worsley Interchange) remains one of the most monitored bottlenecks in the country, where the M60, M62, and M602 all converge. Our grid view allows you to monitor these multiple motorway merges side-by-side, helping you decide if taking the East Lancs Road or sticking to the motorway is your best option today. This is especially vital during the North West's frequent heavy rain events, which can suddenly impact visibility and road traction on the high-speed motorways.
Pro Tip: M602 Roadworks Monitoring
Major ongoing roadworks on the M602 eastbound between Junctions 1 and 3 are expected to last through early 2027. Check our cameras at Eccles and Gilda Brook before you depart to identify active lane closures and their impact on your travel time.
