About these cameras

Every camera on this page is an official public feed published by the California Department of Transportation. Roadze doesn't own or operate them — it brings all 3,425 into one map so you don't have to open a different site for every state. Images refresh automatically; cameras marked offline are usually under maintenance or affected by a local outage.

Other states

Every camera in California was checked on September 14, 2026. 3,425 are listed as working. Roadze re-checks every camera daily against its transportation department, so a camera that stops working is removed from this page.

Common questions

How many traffic cameras does California have?

Roadze lists 3,425 public traffic cameras for California: 2,189 stream live video and 1,236 are still images that refresh on their own. They all come from the transportation department that runs the road, and they are the same feeds those agencies publish.

Which roads have the most cameras in California?

I-5 (392), US-101 (356) and I-15 (190). I-5 has the most of any road in California, which is why it is usually the fastest place to check before driving.

Are the California traffic cameras free to watch?

Yes. Every California camera is public and free, with no account, no app and no limit on how long you watch. Roadze puts them on one map so you do not have to know which agency runs which road.

When were the California cameras last checked?

On September 14, 2026. Every California camera is asked again on each check, and the ones that stop answering are taken off the list instead of being left as black thumbnails.
