SR-99 at Kiernan Ave Live Traffic Cam, Salida

Real-time pictures from SR-99 at Kiernan Avenue help drivers in and around Salida see what the road looks like right now. Its lens points at southbound traffic. Kiernan Avenue is the main east-west road through Salida and a key connector toward Riverbank and Oakdale.

The Modesto area is one of the largest metro areas in the Central Valley, and SR-99 is its backbone. Almond orchards, dairies and food processors surround the cities, and the freeway carries everything from school traffic to tanker trucks full of milk.

Think of SR-99 as the Central Valley's main street. It runs parallel to I-5 but farther east, threading together farm towns and growing cities from Kern County up toward Butte County, and it is the route most valley residents use every day.

Conditions here change with the seasons: hot, clear summer days, dense tule fog on winter mornings, and occasional heavy rain. Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings bring extra travelers, and construction projects come and go along the corridor. Glance at it before you get in the car and you will know what the road looks like right now.
