Seattle's traffic flow is uniquely defined by its geography, squeezed between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington, creating extreme reliance on a few critical north-south and east-west corridors. Our network provides comprehensive visibility into these essential routes.

According to the INRIX 2024 Global Traffic Scorecard, Seattle-area drivers lost an average of 63 hours annually to congestion, ranking it the 10th most congested city in the United States and 23rd globally. This marks a significant increase from 2023, where drivers lost an average of 58 hours.

About Seattle Street Cameras
TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 600+ live traffic cameras throughout Seattle and King County. Our platform aggregates feeds from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT), and regional authorities, giving you comprehensive coverage of traffic conditions across the Pacific Northwest's largest city. These cameras are part of the world's largest traffic camera directory with 135,000+ live feeds from 600+ official sources worldwide.
Research published by the Federal Highway Administration found that access to real-time traffic camera feeds reduces secondary accident rates by up to 30% by enabling faster incident detection and response. This is essential in Seattle, where WSDOT reports that I-5 commute times in the central Puget Sound region worsened in 2023 due to recovering traffic volumes.
Whether you're planning your commute to the Amazon headquarters in South Lake Union, checking current road conditions on the West Seattle Bridge, or monitoring traffic for a Seahawks game at Lumen Field, our Seattle traffic camera network provides real-time visibility into the region's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from major routes including I-5, I-90, SR-520, SR-99, I-405, and the Alaskan Way waterfront. Commuters can also monitor live street views along Rainier Avenue and 15th Ave NW to avoid surface street delays when the floating bridges are congested.

Bridge & Tunnel Alerts
- The Ship Canal Chokepoint: I-5 at the Ship Canal Bridge is consistently the city's primary bottleneck; any minor incident here cascades delays from Northgate to Downtown.
- Floating Bridge Transitions: The land-to-bridge transitions on I-90 and SR-520 are frequent sites for merging accidents; check these specific cameras before crossing the lake.
- West Seattle Bridge Surges: The primary link for West Seattle residents; check cameras here for daily commuter volume and bridge maintenance shifts.
- Pacific Northwest Weather: Seattle's notorious rain creates constant slick surfaces and reduced visibility; visual confirmation of actual road spray is essential for safe driving.
