Tulun Traffic Cameras: 500+ Live Cams

Tulun serves as a critical monitoring point on the Trans-Siberian road network. Managed by FKU Uprdor "Pribaikalye" and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, the city’s road network is dominated by the R255 "Sibir" federal highway. This route supports an immense volume of international freight, industrial logistics, and the daily movement of the regional population. Being situated at a primary crossing of the Iya River and managing the heavy interaction between road and rail transit, staying informed about road conditions in Tulun is essential for safe and efficient travel through the Siberian interior.

TrafficVision provides 24/7 free access to official camera feeds across Tulun’s federal highways and municipal streets. Whether you are checking for maintenance delays at the Shergul railway crossing or monitoring bridge status after heavy rainfall, our platform delivers the real-time visual data needed for a seamless journey through the heart of the Irkutsk Oblast.

Strategic Infrastructure: The R255 Corridor

Tulun’s road network is a critical pillar of the Russian federal transport system. The city manages a high-utilization segment of the R255 federal highway, which spans over 1,800 kilometers between Novosibirsk and Irkutsk. This infrastructure is the primary terrestrial link for goods moving from the industrial west into the Russian Far East.

The scale of the network's utilization is significant, particularly due to the interaction with the Trans-Siberian Railway. The presence of major ground-level railway crossings at Shergul and Tulushka creates unique challenges for traffic management. These points can cause delays exceeding 60 minutes during peak freight rail hours. To manage this pressure, FKU Uprdor "Pribaikalye" utilizes a sophisticated network of monitoring cameras and smart systems, many of which are integrated into the TrafficVision platform. These feeds allow drivers to identify the length of the queue at the rail crossings before they reach the city limits.

Primary Transportation Corridors

1. R255 "Sibir": The primary federal artery linking Tulun to Krasnoyarsk in the west and Irkutsk in the east.
2. The Tulun Bypass: A vital infrastructure project designed to allow transit heavy freight to avoid the city center and the notorious rail crossings.
3. Lenin Street: The main urban axis of Tulun, serving as the primary commercial thoroughfare for the city’s residents.
4. Iya River Embankments: The regional routes serving the industrial and residential areas along the city's primary waterway.

Prioritizing Safety in the Siberian Heart

Road safety is a continuous priority for the State Inspection for the Safety of Road Traffic (GIBDD) and regional authorities. While national Russian fatality rates have trended downward from their 2006 peaks, the Siberian interior presents unique hazards. The combination of high-speed freight transit, reckless overtaking, and the extreme weather patterns of the Irkutsk region requires constant driver vigilance.

The challenge of safety is amplified by the region's environmental history. The 2019 floods in Tulun served as a reminder of the vulnerability of the infrastructure near the Iya River. During such events, visual monitoring through TrafficVision becomes a vital safety service, allowing authorities and drivers to visually confirm road passability and bridge integrity in real-time.

TrafficVision empowers Tulun’s drivers by providing the visual tools needed for proactive safety. By allowing motorists to see a tailback at the Shergul crossing or heavy snow on the Siberia Highway before they reach the location, our platform helps reduce the risks associated with sudden braking and improves overall situational awareness across the region.

Navigating Peak Hours and Rail Delays

Traffic in Tulun follows a distinct rhythm dictated by the industrial work day and the intensive schedule of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The Urban Pulse

As a key regional hub, Tulun experiences concentrated peak-hour traffic, particularly at the intersections of the R255 and the city’s primary commercial streets. Our urban grid view allows commuters to monitor the central streets and the bridge approaches simultaneously, helping them find the clearest path during the morning and evening shifts.

The Rail Intersection

The most significant factor in Tulun’s traffic flow is the frequency of freight train movement at the Shergul crossing. During high-frequency periods, the road network can be paralyzed for over an hour. TrafficVision’s live feeds are essential for drivers looking to identify the best time to move through the city and avoid the longest queues at the rail-road interface.
