Road Conditions & Mountain Passes

Seeing what a road actually looks like before you set off makes a real difference, especially in winter. This category brings together live views of mountain passes, motorways and routes that become critical in snow and ice. Many of the cameras are run by US state transport departments, such as the I-80 across the Bay Bridge in San Francisco, the I-395 interchange in Miami and US-101 in Los Angeles, alongside roads in Turkey, Canada, the Nordic countries and Spain.

Drivers use these cams to check for snow, ice, fog or heavy congestion and to adjust their route or departure time. The images come from official road authorities; some refresh as still frames every few minutes rather than streaming video, and feeds can pause at night or during maintenance. Before you leave, also check the live weather on the camera page for temperature and precipitation along the way.
