VIEW SYDNEY CAMERAS βSydney Metro Coverage Areas
Sydney's traffic network is shaped by its harbour geography, sprawling western suburbs, and a rapidly expanding motorway tunnel system. Key orbital routes like the Westlink M7 handle over 191,000 vehicles daily, making real-time monitoring essential for cross-city travel. Our camera network covers every critical corridor from the CBD to the Blue Mountains fringe.

About Sydney Traffic Cameras
TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 1,500+ live traffic cameras across Sydney and New South Wales. Our platform aggregates feeds from Transport for NSW (TfNSW), Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), and motorway operator systems into a single, unified interface. These cameras are part of the world's largest traffic camera directory, with 135,000+ live feeds from 600+ official sources across 130+ countries.
Whether you are planning a morning commute from Penrith, checking harbour crossing delays before a meeting in North Sydney, or tracking conditions ahead of a weekend trip down the Grand Pacific Drive, our Sydney traffic camera network delivers real-time visibility into every layer of the city's transport infrastructure. View live feeds from the Harbour Bridge, all WestConnex tunnels, the Eastern Distributor, NorthConnex, and hundreds of suburban intersections managed by the Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System (SCATS). Beyond highway cameras, users can monitor live street cameras at signalised intersections throughout the inner west, lower north shore, and greater western Sydney.

CREATE YOUR ROUTE βKey Motorway Corridors
Sydney's motorway network is one of the most complex in the Southern Hemisphere. Understanding where bottlenecks form β and having live visual confirmation β is the difference between a 30-minute commute and a two-hour ordeal.
Sydney Harbour Bridge & Tunnel
The Harbour Bridge carries eight lanes of traffic (with tidal flow direction changes during peak hours) and handles approximately 160,000 road vehicles per day. The adjacent Sydney Harbour Tunnel provides a two-lane alternative in each direction, carrying roughly 96,000 vehicles daily. Together they handle over 250,000 vehicle crossings daily. When an incident closes one crossing, the other becomes an instant chokepoint. Our cameras cover both the bridge deck approaches from the Warringah Freeway and the tunnel portals on each side of the harbour, giving you advance warning before you commit to a crossing.
WestConnex & M4-M8 Link
The WestConnex network has fundamentally reshaped Sydney's motorway grid. The M4 tunnels extend the Western Motorway underground from Haberfield to Rozelle, while the M8 connects the new St Peters Interchange to the airport precinct. The M4-M8 Link joins these two corridors underground, creating a continuous motorway bypass of the CBD. Our feeds cover tunnel entry and exit points, ventilation stack approaches, and the surface road interchanges at Rozelle, Haberfield, and St Peters where merging traffic creates the most congestion.
NorthConnex
NorthConnex provides a nine-kilometre tunnel connecting the M1 Pacific Motorway at Wahroonga to the M2 Hills Motorway at West Pennant Hills, taking heavy vehicles off Pennant Hills Road. Live feeds from both portals and the adjacent surface roads help drivers assess whether the tunnel or the old Pennant Hills Road route is flowing more freely.
M5 & Southern Corridors
The M5 East corridor through Bexley and Arncliffe is one of Sydney's most congestion-prone stretches, particularly during afternoon peaks. The parallel M8 tunnel offers an alternative but merges into the same St Peters Interchange. Our cameras cover both corridors plus the Hume Motorway approaches from Campbelltown and Liverpool, essential for anyone commuting from south-western Sydney.
Eastern Distributor & Airport Access
The Eastern Distributor tunnel connects the CBD (from the southern end of the Cahill Expressway) to the airport and eastern suburbs. Southern Cross Drive feeds directly into Sydney Airport domestic and international terminals. Traffic backs up severely during flight peak periods and whenever events are held at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) or Sydney Football Stadium in Moore Park. Live camera feeds along this corridor help travellers time their airport runs to avoid missing a flight.

VIEW MOTORWAY CAMERAS βSydney's Unique Traffic Dynamics
Sydney's geography β a sprawling harbour, headlands, rivers, and national parks β funnels traffic through a limited number of crossings and corridors. This creates predictable but severe congestion patterns.
New South Wales Road Safety
In the 12 months ending December 2025, New South Wales recorded 355 road deaths, an 8.6% increase compared to the previous period. Speeding remains a primary contributing factor, accounting for nearly 35% of fatal accidents in the metro area. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital safety tool for identifying incident locations early and avoiding high-volume corridors like the M4 and M5 during peak congestion or extreme weather events.
Critical Congestion & Weather Alerts
- Harbour Bridge Tidal Flow: Lane directions on the bridge change throughout the day. Misreading the current configuration can send you into oncoming traffic barriers. Cameras confirm the active lane setup.
- School Zone Cameras: NSW enforces 40 km/h school zones with fixed and mobile speed cameras. During school terms, these zones activate on arterial roads across the metro, creating rolling slowdowns from 8:00β9:30 AM and 2:30β4:00 PM.
- Sydney Olympic Park Events: Major events at ANZ Stadium, Qudos Bank Arena, or Sydney Showground draw tens of thousands of vehicles through the Homebush Bay precinct. The M4 and Parramatta Road feeds are essential for pre-event route planning.
- Beach Traffic: Eastern suburbs roads to Bondi, Coogee, and Maroubra gridlock on summer weekends. Northern Beaches traffic along Pittwater Road and the Spit Bridge (which opens for boat traffic) creates unique delays.
- Heavy Rain & Flash Flooding: Sydney's intense summer storms regularly flood underpasses on Parramatta Road, King Georges Road, and the Hume Highway. Camera feeds provide visual confirmation of road closures before you encounter standing water.
- Bushfire Smoke: During fire seasons, smoke haze can drastically reduce visibility on motorways, particularly the M1 northbound and the M7. Cameras show real-time visibility conditions better than any text-based alert.

Can I watch Sydney Harbour Bridge cameras live?
Yes. We provide multiple live camera feeds covering the Sydney Harbour Bridge approaches from both the north (Warringah Freeway) and south (Cahill Expressway), as well as the adjacent Sydney Harbour Tunnel portals. These feeds show real-time lane configurations and traffic flow.
Are there live traffic cameras near Sydney Airport?
Yes. Our network includes cameras along the Eastern Distributor, Southern Cross Drive, the M8 tunnel, and the airport access roads. These feeds help you time your departure to avoid delays during peak flight periods.
Are Sydney traffic cameras free to watch?
All Sydney and NSW traffic camera feeds on TrafficVision.Live are completely free. No account, subscription, or app download is required. Just open the site and start viewing live feeds 24/7.
How do Sydney traffic cameras help during severe weather?
Sydney experiences intense summer thunderstorms that cause flash flooding, and winter fog that reduces motorway visibility. Our live camera feeds provide visual confirmation of actual road conditions β flooded underpasses, visibility levels, and traffic flow β in real-time, which is far more reliable than text-based alerts alone.
