I-5 at Broadway Live Traffic Cam, Santa Ana
About this camera
Real-time video of Interstate 5 at Broadway comes straight from this Caltrans camera in Santa Ana, with the camera pointed southbound. It is a handy way to check traffic, weather and road conditions before setting out.
Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County, with a historic downtown, an arts district and the Bowers Museum.
Summer weekends bring a steady flow of beachgoers and travellers heading to San Diego, often slowing southbound lanes on Friday afternoons. Weekday rush hours are heavy in both directions, and the carpool lanes are often the fastest way through.
I-5 links the largest cities on the Pacific Coast, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle. Interstate 5 is the main north-south highway of the West Coast, running about 1,380 miles from the Mexican border at San Ysidro to the Canadian border at Blaine, Washington. I-5 is the main spine of Orange County, linking Los Angeles with Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Mission Viejo and the coastal town of San Clemente. Toward the south, I-5 runs through rolling hills and canyons before reaching the ocean at Dana Point and San Clemente.
This camera is operated by Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation, which maintains the state highway network.
