I-5 at Grand Avenue Live Traffic Cam, Santa Ana
About this camera
This live Caltrans camera watches I-5 at Grand Avenue, looking at the southbound lanes in Santa Ana, Orange County. Commuters, truckers and travellers alike can use it to spot slowdowns before they reach them.
Within California alone, I-5 runs for nearly 800 miles, making it by far the longest freeway in the state. I-5 links the largest cities on the Pacific Coast, including San Diego, Los Angeles, Sacramento, Portland and Seattle. Toward the south, I-5 runs through rolling hills and canyons before reaching the ocean at Dana Point and San Clemente. In Orange County, I-5 is the Santa Ana Freeway north of the El Toro Y junction with I-405, and the San Diego Freeway to the south.
Traffic near Disneyland and Angel Stadium surges in the evening on event nights and during holidays. Summer weekends bring a steady flow of beachgoers and travellers heading to San Diego, often slowing southbound lanes on Friday afternoons.
Santa Ana is the county seat of Orange County, with a historic downtown, an arts district and the Bowers Museum.
