SR-125 just east of SR-11 (Cam 2) Live Traffic Cam, San Diego

This roadside camera keeps an eye on SR-125 just east of SR-11 in San Diego, California, giving a real-time picture of how traffic is moving. Caltrans runs more than one camera here; this page carries camera 2.

State Route 125 runs north from Otay Mesa near the Mexican border through Chula Vista, La Mesa and El Cajon to Santee. The southern section of SR-125 is the South Bay Expressway, a toll road linking Otay Mesa with Chula Vista. San Diego is California's second-largest city, famous for its beaches, Balboa Park and a mild climate year-round.

Commute hours bring heavier traffic in the free section to the north. The toll section usually flows more freely than nearby freeways. A quick look before you merge can confirm whether traffic is flowing freely.

Images may look grainy at night or during heavy rain, but the flow of lights still tells the story. The live stream is provided by Caltrans, the California Department of Transportation.
