Questions about the Washington DC camera wall
How many Washington DC traffic cameras can I watch at once?
Up to 48. Choose 12, 24 or 48 cameras; they are spread evenly across 5 highways so every part of Washington DC is covered.
How often does the Washington DC camera wall refresh?
Every minute, while the page is open and visible. Cameras marked LIVE play real-time video when you tap them.
Which highways are on the Washington DC camera wall?
I-95 Quantico to Springfield, Capital Beltway (I-95/I-495) in Virginia, I-395 Shirley Highway, I-66 Haymarket to Washington and Route 50 (US-50) Fairfax to South Riding.
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.
