Questions about I-5 traffic
Is there traffic on I-5 right now?
As of 12:53 AM PST, crash data for I-5 is currently unavailable, and it is slow or has lanes closed (9 active incidents; 7 work zones listed). Most serious: I-5 southbound: Connector closed for paving operation between Golden State Freeway, Route 5 and… (moderate). 61 traffic cameras cover the road from Santa Clarita to Mission Viejo, 35 with live video.
Where are the traffic cameras on I-5?
Route Outlook shows 61 traffic cameras on I-5 Golden State & Santa Ana Freeways between Santa Clarita and Mission Viejo, in driving order. They include I-5 - I-5 : (44) Roscoe Blvd Ramp - North, I-5 - I-5 : (538) Lincoln & Wilshire - North and I-5 - I-5 : (89) North of La Paz Road (South of Alicia) - North.
Can I watch live video of I-5?
Yes. 35 of the 61 cameras stream live video from Caltrans; tap a camera marked LIVE to play it. The others show still images refreshed every minute.
How often are I-5 traffic camera images updated?
Route Outlook refreshes each camera image once a minute. The camera's provider uploads new photos on its own schedule, and the label on each enlarged image shows how long ago it was updated.
What do the green, amber and red highway colors mean?
Green means no incidents, only minor ones, or only work zones. Amber means a crash or other incident slowing traffic, or work closing a travel lane right now (planned roadwork outside its scheduled hours does not count). A ramp or shoulder closure, minor work, and months-long project notices are listed as work zones but leave the highway green. Red means a severe or critical incident, such as a crash blocking lanes, or a road closed in one direction (labeled Closed). Colors update every two minutes from transportation department incident feeds. Grey means no status: the data did not load, or the incident feed has not reported for over an hour, so no highway is shown green without data.
