Alberta 511 Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Alberta 511 cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
This map gathers Alberta's road cameras into one fast, searchable view, pulled straight from the province's official 511 Alberta system. Alberta driving means real winter — Arctic cold snaps, sudden blizzards and ground blizzards on the open prairie, black ice after a chinook, and heavy snow over the Rocky Mountain passes. The surest way to know what the road is doing is to look at it before you head out.
Coverage spans the whole province. The QEII (Highway 2) is the busy spine linking Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton; the Trans‑Canada Highway (Highway 1) runs west from Calgary through Canmore into Banff National Park — past the Banff townsite and Lake Louise — to Kicking Horse Pass at the B.C. line, and east to Medicine Hat; the Yellowhead (Highway 16) carries Edmonton west to Hinton and Jasper National Park, where the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) climbs past the Columbia Icefield. Calgary's Stoney Trail and Deerfoot, and Edmonton's Anthony Henday and Whitemud, are densely covered, along with Highway 3 over the Crowsnest Pass and the routes north toward Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie.
Use the area presets to jump to a region, search for a highway or city, save the cameras you check most as favorites, and see nearby road‑weather stations alongside each feed (temperatures shown in °F, winds in mph). When a blizzard closes the QEII or a mountain pass goes to ice, a quick camera check tells you what to expect.

Province-wide
Every 511 Alberta camera across the province in one view — the QEII corridor, the Trans‑Canada and Yellowhead, the mountain passes and the northern highways. The best at‑a‑glance read before any Alberta drive.
Calgary
Dense coverage of Calgary's network — Stoney Trail (the ring road), Deerfoot Trail (Highway 2), Glenmore and Crowchild, plus the Trans‑Canada (Highway 1) through the city. Ideal for timing a commute or spotting an incident before you commit.
Edmonton
Edmonton's freeways — Anthony Henday Drive (the ring road), Whitemud Drive, the Yellowhead (Highway 16) and the Calgary/Gateway Trail approaches (Highway 2). The fastest honest read on the capital region's traffic.
QEII Corridor
Highway 2 (the Queen Elizabeth II) between Calgary and Edmonton through Airdrie, Red Deer, Ponoka and Leduc — Alberta's busiest highway, and a corridor where winter blizzards and ground‑drifting snow shut things down fast.
Banff & the Rockies
The Trans‑Canada Highway (Highway 1) west from Calgary through Canmore into Banff National Park — past the Banff townsite, Lake Louise and the Moraine Lake / Bow Valley Parkway turnoffs — to Kicking Horse Pass, plus Kananaskis (Highway 40) and the start of the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93). Heavy mountain snow and avalanche‑control closures make the summit cameras essential in winter.
Jasper & Hwy 16
The Yellowhead (Highway 16) from Edmonton west through Edson and Hinton into Jasper National Park, plus the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) past the Columbia Icefield — high, remote mountain routes that see deep snow and long closures.
Southern Alberta
Highway 3 over the Crowsnest Pass, Highway 1 east to Medicine Hat, and the routes through Lethbridge, Fort Macleod and Pincher Creek — open country famous for fierce winds, blowing snow and black ice.
Northern Alberta
The highways north toward Fort McMurray (Highway 63), Grande Prairie and Peace River (Highway 43), plus Cold Lake — long, remote drives where extreme cold and sudden snow are the things to watch.
Tips for using Alberta road cameras
- Before any mountain route — the Trans‑Canada over Kicking Horse, Highway 16 to Jasper, or Highway 3 over the Crowsnest — check the summit camera; 511 Alberta posts closures and conditions there, and the pass can be storming while Calgary is clear.
- On the QEII (Highway 2) in winter, watch for ground blizzards and drifting snow between Calgary and Edmonton — visibility can drop to zero with little warning, and the cameras show it before you're in it.
- After a chinook, watch for black ice as meltwater refreezes — a wet‑looking road near freezing is usually ice. Tap a camera's nearby weather station to pair the image with air and surface temperature.
- In Calgary and Edmonton, the cameras are the fastest way to judge the ring roads (Stoney Trail, Anthony Henday) and major commuter routes before you commit.
- Save your regular cameras as favorites — your commute, the QEII, or a mountain pass you cross often — so they load with one tap.
- Cameras are a great real‑time gut check, but Alberta closes highways and passes quickly in winter — always confirm closures and conditions with 511 Alberta (511.alberta.ca) or by dialing 511.
