Open data on US traffic camera feeds
This repo is a small open dataset about public traffic and road-condition cameras run by US government agencies: which official feeds exist, where the cameras are, and how reliably each state's fleet actually serves a live image. The data is aggregated by LiveTrafficCam, which checks every camera on a rolling schedule with real HTTP requests.
The files
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
data/sources.json | Registry of official feed sources: state DOT APIs, 511 platforms, FAA WeatherCams. Name, kind, state, official site, terms, attribution line. |
data/cameras.geojson | Camera locations as GeoJSON points with route, live status and agency attribution. A sample of up to 200 cameras per state; the source API caps each query. |
data/uptime-summary.json | Full measured per-state counts: cameras tracked, live/stale/dead now, 14-day check success. Mirrors the live camera uptime report. |
A weekly GitHub Action re-pulls the generated files;
sources.json is maintained by hand.
