Tacoma serves as the primary hub for the South Sound, where major interstate corridors meet international freight terminals and one of the nation's largest military installations. The intersection of I-5, I-705, and SR 16 in Tacoma has been identified as the 16th worst truck bottleneck in the United States, handling massive daily freight volumes between the port and regional distribution centers. Our network provides comprehensive visibility into these critical routes.

About Tacoma Traffic Cameras
TrafficVision.Live provides free access to 650+ live traffic cameras throughout Tacoma and Pierce County. Our platform aggregates feeds from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and regional authorities, giving you comprehensive coverage of traffic conditions across the "City of Destiny." The average one-way commute for Tacoma residents is approximately 28.1 minutes, though regional travel to Seattle can often exceed 90 minutes during peak morning surges. Traffic safety remains a critical priority, as Tacoma recorded 35 fatal crashes in 2023—a decade high—making real-time monitoring of high-speed corridors essential for situational awareness.
Whether you're planning your commute across the Narrows Bridge, checking current road conditions on the Fife curve, or monitoring traffic for a concert at the Tacoma Dome, our Tacoma traffic camera network provides real-time visibility into the region's transportation infrastructure. View live feeds from major routes including I-5, SR-16, I-705, SR-509, SR-167, SR-512, and Pacific Avenue. Commuters can also monitor live street views along Pacific Avenue and 6th Avenue to avoid surface street delays when the major freeways are gridlocked.

Bridge, Port & Base Alerts
- The Narrows Chokepoint: As the sole link to the Peninsula, any incident on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge creates immediate, total gridlock across the west side of the city.
- JBLM Shift Surges: Joint Base Lewis-McChord generates significant traffic pulses on I-5 between Exit 119 and Exit 125 during shift rotations (6:00-7:30 AM and 3:30-5:00 PM).
- Fife/Port Curve: The sharp curve on I-5 in Fife is a frequent site for accidents; check cameras before leaving Tacoma for the Seattle commute.
- Tacoma Dome Events: Major concerts and events at the Dome create intense localized gridlock on I-5 and I-705; check cameras 60 minutes before doors open.
