I-105 at Atlantic Ave Live Traffic Cam, Paramount

Traffic on Interstate 105 at Atlantic Ave, in Paramount, is on screen right now, with the camera pointed westbound. Checking the camera takes seconds and can save a lot of time in traffic.

Paramount is a small city in southeast Los Angeles County, home of Paramount Iceland, the rink where Frank Zamboni invented his famous ice resurfacer.

Trains of the C Line glide along the median while drivers sit in traffic, a very Los Angeles scene. Airport traffic keeps the western end busy at almost any hour, especially around holidays.

About this camera

• County: Los Angeles County, California
• Camera view: westbound traffic

I-105 links the airport and South Bay with the communities of South Los Angeles and southeast Los Angeles County, and it connects to I-405, I-110, I-710 and I-605. The Century Freeway was planned for decades and its construction displaced thousands of homes, which led to a landmark court settlement that funded housing and job programmes along the route. The interchange of I-105 and I-110 is a five-level stack that rises high above South Los Angeles, often seen in films and car commercials.
