  DOT's Traffic Management Center, located in Long Island City, Queens, contains closed circuit television cameras trained on major arteries, which allow operations staff to track traffic conditions at key locations in the City.
 Twenty-two of DOT's traffic cameras, showing live traffic conditions at major locations, now can be seen on City Drive Live on NYC TV, the television network of the City of New York, on Channel 93 (72 for Cablevision Subscribers) all day, every day.
Visitors to the DOT Web pages also can access these cameras to view real-time traffic movements. The Advanced Traveler Information System provides both streaming video and frequently updated still images from locations in the five boroughs.
To access streaming video and stills, we recommend a minimum of 56K modem capability. In addition, the Real Player plug-in must be used for streaming video. If you do not have Real Player, you may download it free from the Advanced Traveler Information System introduction page.
At times when demand is high, video streaming may not be available to each visitor. If you cannot receive a video stream, you will be redirected to a still photo of the location, which is updated every few minutes. Please try again at a later time to access the video stream. To manage the demand, you will be able to access each video stream for a maximum of three minutes, for a total of 20 minutes of every hour. After that time, you will be able to access only still Web cam images.
The cameras are being used by DOT staff to monitor traffic conditions, and may be repositioned to view traffic from varying directions. You may see different views if you visit a camera location at different times.
To see the list of available camera locations, visit the Advanced Traveler Information System.
From time to time, cameras may be out of service because of construction, weather conditions, or mechanical or electrical failure. These cameras will be restored to service as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.
For updated information, see Real Time Traffic Information from 511NY, New York State's official traffic and travel info source or from metrocommute.com. Links are also provided to other Web sites that provide cameras at additional locations in New York City. In addition, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which operates many of the bridges and tunnels in New York City, provides several cameras on its Web site.
