The addition of 11 new traffic cameras on sa¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½ highways in 2023 — with one on Vancouver Island — will enable travellers to better prepare themselves for traffic and changing road conditions, especially in the winter.

With the latest additions, DriveBC’s webcam network now numbers 496 across the province. Vancouver Island accounts for 180 of those cameras along eight highways.

Many of the cameras can pan, tilt or zoom, delivering several views from a single position, resulting in 1,013 real-time views from the network.

The locations chosen for the cameras, which provide remote eyes on the road 24 hours a day, are based on the needs of community, contractors or to monitor weather conditions.

On Vancouver Island, a new camera has been installed at the Ucluelet-Tofino Highway junction on Highway 4. The camera will provide north, west and east views.

While new cameras are added to the network throughout the year, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure only announces their addition once a year.

The cameras can be viewed on the DriveBC web site. In addition to providing information about weather, road and traffic conditions, the site also has links to information about border delays, inland ferries or ongoing construction projects.
