Dallas & Fort Worth Live Traffic Webcams

The Dallas and Fort Worth Department of Transportation has established a huge network of CCTV traffic webcams, covering a large number of the big intersections and heavily congested roads in the area.

These high end, networked security cameras are live and can be helpful during bad weather, morning/evening rush hour, or if you want to see if that wreck on the turnpike has been cleared out. They are free to view, and available anytime.  Check them out at the links below.

Many of the cameras used in situations like this are high end PTZ Cameras or Box Cameras, often utilizing outdoor housings and enclosures that keep them safe from the elements. The city also uses solar energy to power some of these installations, helping the environment while helping protect the city.

Pretty cool, if you ask me!

    4. Fun. That is a good idea to see how well traffic is moving before heading out into it! Of course it can change in a matter of seconds around here.

    7. I wonder if this Web site works well on your cell phone. Although you might end up causing a traffic jam yourself …

    13. Vlad, I checked the links for the cameras again and they are coming up on my browser just fine. The first thing you’ll see is a list of traffic cameras and then you have to click on one of those street names. It’s really very cool. Let me know if you have any future troubles and thanks for being a part of The CCTV Blog!

    15. This would be a really great site if it would show pictures instead of just where the cameras are located.
