South Carolina SCDOT Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map

This map brings together the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) live road cameras into one fast, searchable view, pulled straight from the state's official 511SC system. With roughly 764 cameras statewide, you can check what I-26, I-95, I-85, the Charleston bridges, or the Myrtle Beach beach traffic actually look like before you leave the driveway, whether you're commuting through Columbia's Malfunction Junction, heading to the Grand Strand for the weekend, or watching the coast during hurricane season.

Coverage follows South Carolina's busiest corridors. I-26 is the diagonal spine, running from Charleston up through Columbia to the Upstate at Spartanburg, and it becomes the state's hurricane-evacuation lifeline when its lanes are reversed toward Columbia. I-95 carries north-south traffic down the eastern side of the state through Florence, Santee, and Walterboro. In the Midlands, I-20, I-26, and I-77 converge on Columbia, where the I-20/I-26/I-126 tangle is known as Malfunction Junction. In the Lowcountry you'll find the I-526 Mark Clark Expressway and US-17 over the Cooper River on the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, while the Upstate is knit together by I-85, I-385, and I-185 through Greenville and Spartanburg. Along the coast, US-17, the SC-31 Carolina Bays Parkway, and US-501 toward Conway carry the Grand Strand.

One thing to know up front: these are traffic cameras, not road-weather stations. They carry no pavement sensors or roadside thermometers, so to add context each camera here is paired with the nearest National Weather Service airport station. Treat that as the nearest airport's conditions alongside each camera, often several miles away and not a measurement of the road surface under the lens. The live still image is the more honest signal for fog, standing water, a stalled backup, or storm spray. Use the area presets to jump to your region, search by highway or town, and save the cameras you check most as favorites.
