In 2024, the state's traffic fatality rate reached 1.61 per 100 million miles traveled—the 3rd highest in the U.S.—making real-time visual intelligence a daily necessity. Monitor I-79 through the mountainous interior, check conditions on I-64 through the New River Gorge, and track I-81 traffic in the fast-growing Eastern Panhandle before crossing into Virginia or Maryland.

About West Virginia Traffic Monitoring
West Virginia's geography defines its transportation challenges. The mountainous terrain means highways constantly climb and wind through valleys, where weather can change from rain to ice in just a few miles of elevation gain.
The I-79 Mountain Spine
I-79 serves as the state's primary north-south artery, connecting Charleston to Morgantown and Pittsburgh. The highway traverses dramatic terrain with significant grades that require reduced speeds for commercial trucks. Morning rush hour (6:30-8:30 AM) sees heavy commuter traffic in the Charleston and Morgantown metro areas.
The I-64 Gorge Corridor
Crossing southern West Virginia, I-64 passes through the New River Gorge National Park. This route includes the Sandstone Mountain grade, a critical point for truckers. Cameras here are essential for monitoring heavy fog in the river valleys and high winds on the New River Gorge Bridge.
Mountain Grade Awareness
Commercial drivers and RV operators should use our cameras to check for "runaway truck" incidents on major descents like Sandstone Mountain or the WV Turnpike grades before beginning their descent.
Academic & Event Impacts
- West Virginia University (Morgantown): Home football games draw 60,000+ fans to a city of 30,000. Monitor I-79 and Monongahela Boulevard before and after games to avoid total gridlock.
- Bridge Day (Fayetteville): The annual BASE jumping festival closes the New River Gorge Bridge to vehicles. Check cameras for massive traffic diversions along US-19 during this October event.
Valley Fog Hazards
Fall and spring mornings frequently bring dense radiation fog to the Kanawha and Ohio River valleys. Use our cameras at dawn to verify visibility before entering these low-lying zones. Users can also monitor street-level cameras in cities like Parkersburg and Wheeling to navigate around local surface street delays and river crossing congestion.
