Live Stockholm Traffic Cameras & Archipelago Monitoring
Navigate the "Beauty on Water" with over 2,500 live traffic cameras across Stockholm. From the critical Essingeleden (E4) bypass carrying 130,000 daily vehicles to the historic bridges of Gamla Stan and the Congestion Tax cordons, get a real-time view of Nordic weather and island-hopping commuter flows 24/7.
VIEW STOCKHOLM CAMERAS →Stockholm is a city defined by water. Built on 14 islands connected by 57 bridges, the Swedish capital's traffic flow is channeled into a few critical arteries that must handle the entire metropolitan volume. The Essingeleden (E4) is the busiest road in Sweden, acting as the primary north-south valve for the entire region. When it jams, the entire city stops.
To manage this density, Stockholm operates a sophisticated Congestion Tax system. Despite this, the TomTom Traffic Index ranks Stockholm 181st globally for congestion, with a 42% level in 2025. Drivers face unique challenges ranging from narrow medieval streets to high-speed underground tunnel networks like the Northern Link (Norra Länken). Our platform aggregates official Trafikverket feeds to give you the visual intelligence needed to navigate the archipelago.
Essingeleden (E4) Bypass
Monitor Sweden's busiest road. Track real-time feeds on the elevated motorway that skirts the city center. Essential for checking the morning queue from Kungens Kurva to Eugeniatunneln.
Centralbron & City Arteries
Keep an eye on the central lifeline. Monitor the bridge passing the Old Town (Gamla Stan) and the connection to Södermalm. This is the primary alternative to the E4 for local traffic.
Southern Link (Södra Länken)
View cameras in the massive tunnel complex. Monitor the flow under the southern suburbs, a critical route for commuters avoiding surface gridlock.
Congestion Tax Portals
Check traffic density at the pay zones. Visual confirmation of queues at the toll gantries entering the inner city ring.
Capital City Precision
Access feeds from the political and economic center of Scandinavia, covering every major bridge and tunnel entrance.
Tunnel Vision
Specialized monitoring of Stockholm's extensive tunnel network, including the Södra and Norra Länken systems.
Nordic Winter Safety
Visual verification of snow clearing status on the E4 and major bridges during Sweden's long winter season.
Strategic Mobility: The Island Choke Points
Stockholm's geography creates natural choke points.
- Essingeleden (E4): Handles over 130,000 vehicles daily. It is vulnerable to accidents that can cause immediate, hours-long delays.
- Saltsjö-Mälaren Snitt: The "cut" between the lake and the sea. All north-south traffic must pass through one of only three major corridors (E4, Centralbron, Västerbron).
The Congestion Tax
Stockholm's tax applies M-F, 06:00-18:29. Charges vary by time of day, peaking at 45 SEK. Use our cameras to check if the "free" routes like Essingeleden are moving, or if paying the tax to use Centralbron is worth the time savings.
Navigating the Seasons
Stockholm's traffic is heavily seasonal.
- Winter (Nov-Mar): Snow clearing is a military-grade operation, but blizzards can still close lanes. "Datumparkering" (date parking) rules clear streets for plows. Use cameras to check if your street has been plowed.
- Summer: The city empties out in July ("Industrisemester"), making driving a breeze. However, the E4 exit to the archipelago ferries becomes a new hotspot on sunny weekends.
Avoid the Essingeleden Jam
Don't join the parking lot on the E4. Check the live cameras at Kungens Kurva and find a smarter route through the tunnels.
VIEW E4 CAMERAS →Safety and Smart Infrastructure
Stockholm has one of the world's highest rankings for urban mobility readiness.
- Tunnel Safety: The city's tunnels are monitored by incident detection systems. If a camera shows a red "X" over a lane, obey it immediately—it usually means a stalled vehicle ahead.
- Queue Warning: Variable speed limits on the E4 are automated to prevent rear-end collisions at the back of a jam.
Can I see traffic on the bridges to Gamla Stan?
Yes. We provide feeds for Centralbron and Vasabron, giving you a clear view of the approaches to the Old Town.
How do I check for winter road conditions?
Search for any major highway like "E4" or "E18". The high-definition cameras clearly show if the tarmac is black (cleared) or white (snow-covered).
Are the Stockholm traffic cameras live?
Yes, our platform aggregates real-time feeds from Trafikverket, providing updates every minute.
Is TrafficVision free to use in Stockholm?
Yes. TrafficVision provides 100% free access to all 2,500+ live feeds in Stockholm and across Sweden. No subscription is required.
