VIEW TAINAN CAMERAS →Tainan City, the ancient capital of Taiwan, presents a unique traffic challenge: blending a 400-year-old urban fabric with the demands of a world-class semiconductor hub. The city is famous for its high density of temples, historic sites, and a culinary scene that draws millions of domestic tourists on weekends. Simultaneously, the Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP) in the northern districts drives massive daily commuter flows.
According to the TomTom Traffic Index, Tainan experiences significant congestion, partly due to its lack of a mass rapid transit (MRT) system compared to Taipei or Kaohsiung. Residents and visitors rely heavily on scooters and private cars, making real-time monitoring essential. Our platform aggregates official feeds from the Tainan City Government Bureau of Transportation, providing visibility into the "slow city's" surprising rush-hour intensity.
West Central District (Heritage Core)
Monitor the historic heart of the city. Track real-time feeds near the Confucius Temple, Hayashi Department Store, and the busy roundabouts (circles) that define the downtown grid.
Southern Taiwan Science Park (STSP)
Keep an eye on the economic engine of the south. Monitor the heavy commuter traffic in Xinshi and Shanhua districts, especially during the morning shift change for major tech fabs.
Anping District & Coast
View cameras leading to the historic Anping Fort and the coastal recreation zones. Essential for avoiding weekend tourist gridlock on Anping Road.
National Freeway 1 Access
Check conditions on the primary north-south artery. Monitor the vital interchanges at Yongkang and Rende, which serve as the main gateways to the city center.

Strategic Mobility: The Old and The New
Tainan's traffic patterns are a tale of two cities. The West Central District operates on a historic grid with frequent roundabouts (Dongmen, Tang Te-chang) that can become confusing bottlenecks for visitors. In contrast, the northern districts of Yongkang and Xinshi feature wide arterials designed to feed the Science Park.
Key Commuter Corridors:
- Provincial Highway 1 (Zhonghua Road): The bustling ring road connecting the eastern districts.
- Provincial Highway 86: An essential east-west expressway linking the HSR station to the coast.
- Beimen Road: A major commercial artery prone to evening congestion.
The "Circle" Challenge
Tainan is known for its multi-lane traffic circles (roundabouts). These can be intimidating for visitors and are frequent sites of minor scooter incidents. Use our cameras to check the flow density at the Tang Te-chang Memorial Park circle before you enter the mix.
Navigating the "Snack Capital"
Tainan is Taiwan's culinary capital. On weekends and holidays, the streets surrounding famous eateries on Guohua Street and Anping Old Street become pedestrian-heavy zones with significant vehicle queues. Real-time monitoring allows "foodie tourists" to identify parking availability and find clearer approach routes to their next meal.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Safety and Infrastructure
Tainan's lack of an MRT system means the road network bears the full load of public transit (buses) and private travel.
- Scooter Density: Tainan has one of the highest scooter ownership rates in Taiwan. Cameras help drivers remain aware of the volume of two-wheeled traffic, especially at intersections without dedicated turn signals.
- Temple Events: Tainan hosts frequent temple parades that can close lanes or entire streets. Our live feeds are often the quickest way to confirm if a procession is impacting your route.
Can I see traffic cameras near the Tainan HSR station?
Yes. We provide feeds for the Shalun district surrounding the High Speed Rail station, including the access routes to the convention center and the outlet mall.
How do I check traffic for the Garden Night Market?
Search for "Hai'an Road" or "Flower Night Market" on our platform. We monitor the major intersections near the city's largest night markets to help you gauge crowd levels.
Are there cameras in the Southern Taiwan Science Park?
Yes, we have extensive coverage of the STSP area (Xinshi/Shanhua), focusing on the main boulevards serving the semiconductor fabs.
