Navigating the District DOT Network
The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) manages a high-density network of cameras designed to handle both daily commuter surge and high-security events.
Reversible Lanes and Circles
DC is famous for its complex traffic patterns, including reversible lanes on 16th Street and Connecticut Avenue, plus the notorious traffic circles like Dupont and Logan. Our street-level cameras are the only way to visually verify lane directions and circle density in real-time.
Bridge Crossings
With the Potomac and Anacostia rivers dividing the region, bridge performance is the single most important factor in a DC commute. TrafficVision aggregates feeds from the Key Bridge, Memorial Bridge, and the 11th Street Bridge to give you a complete view of all river portals.
Inauguration & Event Closures
During major federal events or State of the Union addresses, the Secret Service frequently closes dozens of District streets. Use our downtown cameras to see physical barricades and identify open alternate routes when GPS data lags behind security changes.
