Build a Route โState DOT Camera Networks
Each state DOT operates its own camera infrastructure, and our platform unifies them all into one interface.
Northeast: NYSDOT, MassDOT, ConnDOT, NJDOT, PennDOT, and MaineDOT provide dense coverage of I-95, I-84, I-91, and the Massachusetts Turnpike. The Northeast Corridor from Boston to Washington, DC has some of the highest camera density in the country.
Southeast: FDOT (Florida), GDOT (Georgia), NCDOT, VDOT (Virginia), and TDOT (Tennessee) cover the Sun Belt's rapidly growing highway networks. Florida's SunGuide system and Virginia's 511 network are among the most comprehensive in the nation.
Midwest: ODOT (Ohio), INDOT (Indiana), MnDOT (Minnesota), WisDOT (Wisconsin), and MoDOT (Missouri) monitor the heartland's interstate grid. Winter weather coverage is a priority, with cameras focused on I-94, I-80, I-70, and I-35 corridors.
West: Caltrans (California), WSDOT (Washington), ODOT (Oregon), CDOT (Colorado), and ADOT (Arizona) cover mountain passes, desert highways, and Pacific Coast routes. WSDOT and CDOT provide critical mountain pass cameras for winter travel.
Plains & Mountain: WYDOT (Wyoming), NDDOT (North Dakota), SDDOT (South Dakota), and MDT (Montana) focus on rural interstate coverage where weather conditions change rapidly and distances between services are long.
Finding Cameras by Source

Winter Weather Hazards
Winter storms affect every region differently. Monitor cameras for black ice on Midwest interstates, lake-effect snow across the Great Lakes, mountain pass closures in Colorado and Washington, nor'easters blanketing the Northeast, and ice storms across the Southeast. Many mountain passes require chains or snow tires from October through April.
Winter (NovemberโMarch): Mountain passes in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Washington face frequent closures. I-80 through the Sierra Nevada and I-70 through the Eisenhower Tunnel require close monitoring. Lake-effect snow hammers corridors near the Great Lakes in Ohio, Michigan, and New York.
Hurricane Season (JuneโNovember): Gulf Coast and Atlantic states from Texas to North Carolina face evacuation routes and flooding. Houston, Tampa, and Miami metro cameras are essential for monitoring flood conditions and evacuation corridor flow.
Summer Construction: Every state ramps up highway construction from April through October. Lane closures and detours are common on major interstates. Check cameras for active work zones, especially on I-95, I-75, and I-80.
Wildfire Season (JulyโOctober): Western states experience reduced visibility and highway closures from wildfire smoke. California, Oregon, and Washington cameras help assess driving conditions during fire season.

United States Road Safety
In 2024, more than 44,000 people died in US motor vehicle crashes, though preliminary 2025 data has shown an encouraging 8.2% decline in fatalities. The national fatality rate now stands at 1.06 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Real-time camera monitoring is a vital component of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) safety strategy, enabling drivers to identify hazards early and navigate safely through high-risk "Safety Corridors" where fines are often doubled to protect road users.
- I-81 (Shenandoah Valley): Primary East Coast freight corridor connecting Northeast ports to Southeast distribution centers
- I-40 (Memphis to Barstow): Cross-country freight route through Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona
- I-75 (Detroit to Miami): Manufacturing corridor connecting the Great Lakes auto industry to Southeast ports
- I-35 (Duluth to Laredo): NAFTA superhighway for US-Mexico trade through Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas
