Maryland MDOT Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map

Maryland MDOT is the live-camera network run by the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration's Coordinated Highways Action Response Team. We surface roughly 554 of its cameras on a single map, spanning the Baltimore metro, the DC suburbs along the Capital Beltway, the approaches to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the Eastern Shore beach routes, the Western Maryland mountains, and the Southern Maryland peninsulas. Whether you are timing a run to Ocean City, gauging the Fort McHenry Tunnel backup, or checking I-68 before climbing Big Savage Mountain, you can see the actual road before you commit to it.

These are live video cameras, not still snapshots. Each Maryland MDOT camera streams live HLS video that plays right in your browser, so when you tap a marker you watch traffic move in real time rather than refreshing a frozen image. That makes it easy to tell a genuine standstill from a momentary slowdown, judge how fast a queue is clearing on the I-495 Capital Beltway, or confirm whether the Bay Bridge is actually crawling before you join the line. The feeds update continuously the way a video does, with no waiting between frames.

MDOT cameras do not carry their own on-road weather sensors, so we pair each one with the conditions reported at the nearest National Weather Service airport station. That gives you a reliable read on temperature, wind, and visibility near the camera, which matters most when fog or high winds threaten the Chesapeake Bay Bridge or when snow and ice move across the I-68 and I-70 mountain corridors. Treat it as the nearest airport's conditions alongside each camera, a useful supplement to the live video rather than a reading from the pavement itself.
