SR-99 at Mariposa Way Live Traffic Cam, Merced
About this camera
Wondering how traffic is moving on SR-99 in Merced? This camera, positioned just south of Mariposa Way, shows northbound traffic live. Mariposa Way points toward the town of Mariposa and the Yosemite foothills, a reminder that Merced is a traditional jumping-off point for the park.
Merced calls itself the Gateway to Yosemite, because SR-140 leaves the city and climbs through Mariposa to the national park. It is also home to UC Merced, the newest campus of the University of California, which opened in 2005. Nearby Atwater is home to Castle Airport and the Castle Air Museum on the grounds of a former Air Force base, and Livingston sits just south of the Merced River.
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. Many drivers check it before the morning commute or a weekend trip to decide when to leave.
Thanks to Caltrans (the California Department of Transportation) for making this live view available.
