Watch live Lexington traffic online

A new traffic camera system in Lexington allows commuters to take a look at traffic conditions online.

The high-definition cameras are placed at 79 heavy-traffic intersections

around the city, and anyone can see the live footage at

https://trafficvid.lexingtonky.gov/publicmap/ . More traffic cameras will be added to other intersections as the network connecting the cameras expands.

The project cost about $170,000 and used existing traffic camera

infrastructure. (I have been waiting a long time for this, I love it.)

To move the map to different locations, left click and drag.

You can enlarge the map with the wheel on your mouse, click on a business and it will show a photo of the business, location, phone, hours open, and reviews.

Below is only a photo. You have to click on the link above, then click on the camera at the location you want.
