SR-99 North of Kansas Ave Live Traffic Cam, Modesto
About this camera
This feed puts you right beside SR-99 just north of Kansas Avenue, in Modesto, with a live view of northbound traffic. Kansas Avenue sits near the junction with SR-132 (Maze Boulevard), the route west from Modesto toward the Bay Area.
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.
SR-99 is one of California's hardest-working highways. It carries commuters between valley cities, families heading for the Sierra, and a steady procession of big rigs hauling produce, dairy, nuts and wine out of one of the most productive farming regions on Earth.
Expect a mix of commuter cars, farm vehicles and long-haul freight. Harvest season adds produce trucks, and on foggy winter mornings the view can shrink to a few car lengths, which is exactly when a quick look at a live camera pays off. A quick look before you leave can tell you whether the lanes are moving freely or backed up.
The camera is operated by Caltrans (the California Department of Transportation), and the picture updates continuously.
