About this camera
Real-time video of Interstate 8 at Greenfield Drive comes straight from this Caltrans camera in El Cajon, with the camera pointed westbound. A glance at the feed before you leave can tell you whether to expect an easy drive or a slow crawl.
I-8 is the southernmost east-west interstate in California, running close to the Mexican border for much of its length. East of El Cajon, I-8 climbs into the mountains toward Alpine and the Cuyamaca area, reaching over 4,000 feet before descending into the desert. In San Diego, I-8 runs east from the beach area through Mission Valley, past Hotel Circle, Fashion Valley and San Diego State University, toward La Mesa and El Cajon.
Greenfield Drive is in eastern El Cajon. El Cajon sits in a broad valley east of San Diego, surrounded by hills, and is known for its hot summers and diverse community.
Summer weekends bring beach traffic heading west toward Mission Bay and Ocean Beach. Events at Snapdragon Stadium and SDSU can bring extra congestion to Mission Valley.
