View Taipei Cameras ->Taipei is a world leader in smart city infrastructure, featuring a dense and highly integrated Intelligent Transport System (ITS) designed to manage millions of daily commutes. According to the TomTom Traffic Index, Taipei ranked as the 17th most congested city globally in 2023, with commuters spending an average of over 29 minutes to travel just 10 kilometers. Nestled in a basin surrounded by mountains, the city relies on a network of elevated expressways and river bridges that handle some of the highest volumes in Asia; segments of National Highway 1 in Taipei have recorded maximum daily volumes of up to 250,000 vehicles.
This intense density contributes to significant travel delays, with local drivers estimated to lose 122 hours annually to rush-hour congestion. Our platform aggregates live traffic cameras from the Taipei City Traffic Engineering Office (TEO) and the Department of Transportation, providing comprehensive coverage of every major intersection, expressway ramp, and bridge crossing in the capital. Safety remains a critical focus; in 2022, Taiwan recorded 3,085 road fatalities, with motorcycle riders—who define the city's unique "scooter waterfalls"—accounting for 63% of all traffic deaths.
Research from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) indicates that access to real-time traveler information systems can reduce incident-related delays by as much as 40%, making traffic cameras an essential tool for navigating the high-density corridors of Taipei and New Taipei City.
Key Taipei Transportation Corridors
Taipei's traffic flow is defined by its elevated expressway network and the radial avenues that connect the city's diverse neighborhoods.
Camera feeds for Taipei, Taiwan are sourced from MOTC Taiwan, which operates the official traffic monitoring network.
Civic Boulevard Expressway
The primary east-west elevated route. Cameras cover the entire section from the Nangang District to the Taipei Main Station area. Essential for monitoring the city's most frequent congestion points and expressway ramp queues.
Jianguo & Xinsheng Expressways
The city's main north-south elevated corridors. Cameras provide clear views of the traffic flow between the Zhongshan and Daan districts, including the vital junctions with the National Freeways.
Tamsui River Bridges (West Side)
Zhongxiao, Taipei, Huajiang, and Wanban bridges. Cameras monitor these critical links between Taipei and Sanchong, Banqiao, and Luzhou. Vital for the daily cross-river commuter migration.
Zhongxiao & Xinyi East Roads
The city's primary commercial and retail avenues. Cameras cover the busy shopping districts and the "Office Row" corridors, providing data on surface street density and bus lane flow.
Critical Bottlenecks and Interchanges
Taipei Main Station Hub: The convergence of the MRT, high-speed rail, and major surface avenues. Cameras monitor the complex intersections around the station, which are among the busiest in Taiwan.
The Neihu Traffic Hub: Serving the Neihu Technology Park. Cameras monitor the heavy commuter traffic on the Zhouzi Expressway and the bridges connecting Neihu to the city center. This area is known for intense peak-hour congestion.
The Daan Park Interchange: Where the Jianguo Expressway meets several major surface roads. Cameras provide vital views of the merging traffic near one of the city's largest green spaces.
Grand Hotel (Yuanshan) Interchange: The northern gateway to the city center. Cameras monitor the traffic flow where the National Freeway 1 meets the city's northern radial routes, providing views of the iconic hotel landmark.
Typhoon Monitoring
During Taiwan's typhoon season (July-October), Taipei's traffic cameras become vital safety tools. City authorities often close river-side parking and floodgates preemptively. Our cameras allow you to monitor river levels and wind impacts on elevated expressways in real-time from the safety of your home.
Seasonal Traffic Patterns in the Capital
Summer Storms and Typhoons
Taipei experiences intense afternoon thunderstorms in summer and occasional typhoons. These events can cause sudden visibility drops and localized flooding. Use our cameras to check for standing water on surface streets and to see if the "scooter lanes" on bridges are safe during high-wind events.
Taipei Traffic by Season:
- Summer (Storm Season): Monitoring the Neihu and Zhongshan districts for heavy rain impacts. The Tamsui River bridges are high-priority zones during typhoon alerts.
- Lunar New Year: The city becomes unusually quiet as residents head to their hometowns. Cameras show the dramatic decrease in urban traffic during this week-long holiday.
- Academic Year: Traffic volumes peak in the morning as students and parents navigate school zones in the Daan and Songshan districts.
- Weekend Leisure: Traffic shifts toward the exits for Yangmingshan National Park and the Tamsui District. Monitoring the northern radial cameras helps you time your weekend escape.
Scooter Peaks: The "scooter box" at major intersections (like Zhongshan North Road) typically fills up by 8:00 AM. Our live feeds let you see the density of two-wheeled traffic, which is often a more accurate indicator of urban "busyness" than car counts alone.
