SR-99 at Mitchell Rd Live Traffic Cam, Modesto
About this camera
Live from Modesto, Stanislaus County, this camera shows SR-99 just south of Mitchell Road. You are looking at the southbound lanes.
Stanislaus County is centered on Modesto, the hometown of filmmaker George Lucas and the inspiration for American Graffiti. Downtown Modesto's famous arch reads Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health. South of the city, SR-99 passes Ceres and Turlock, home of California State University, Stanislaus, and to the north it runs through Salida toward the Stanislaus River.
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. Use it to see real conditions instead of guessing, whether you are commuting, hauling freight or starting a road trip.
This stream comes from Caltrans (the California Department of Transportation), which operates the camera.
