LIVE CAMERA NETWORK
Iconic Places — Live Cameras on Famous Streets & Crossings
The crossings and streets the public camera network really frames — counted by a rule, not by proximity. Free, no signup.
Every famous street has a thousand cameras in its city and, usually, none on itself. This directory keeps a stricter rule than the rest of the site: a place earns a page only where a camera in the catalogue genuinely frames it — the feed whose own name is the crossing, the traffic camera standing on the boulevard itself. A camera merely in the same city never qualifies, however famous the city.
Four places clear that bar today. Shibuya Crossing has two feeds that carry its name, one registered at the crossing itself. The Las Vegas Strip has twenty-six — Nevada DOT's cameras at nearly every corner of the boulevard between Sahara and the Welcome Sign. Duval Street in Key West has exactly one, at its Truman Avenue corner, stated as one. And Kalākaua Avenue, Waikiki's beachfront boulevard, has six at its own intersections.
The absences are printed below with the same care as the presences, because 'is there a live cam of Times Square?' deserves a true answer: not in this catalogue — nor Bourbon Street, nor Abbey Road's crossing, nor Ocean Drive, Pier 39, Lombard Street or Rodeo Drive. Each absence below was measured, not assumed. If a genuine feed for any of them is published openly and enters the catalogue, it gets its page by the same rule that excluded it.
The places with pages
Four places in the world clear this directory's bar today — a camera whose own name is the place, or standing on it. Each page states its set's rule and count exactly; none borrows a neighbour's cameras to look bigger.
Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Tokyo
2 cameras — every catalogue camera whose own name is the crossing. The Shibuya Crossing page →

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.
The Las Vegas Strip, Las Vegas
26 cameras — every catalogue camera on Las Vegas Boulevard between Sahara Avenue and the Welcome Sign. The Las Vegas Strip page →

The famous absences — measured, not assumed
Each of these was checked against the catalogue by name and by radius. The true answer today is that no qualifying camera exists; the note says what the catalogue holds instead.
Times Square, New York
No camera within 1 km in the catalogue — the nearest are West Side Highway feeds 1.4 km away, and the famous billboards feeds are not published into this directory.
Abbey Road, London
No camera stands on Abbey Road. The nearest London traffic cameras are on Finchley Road and Wellington Road, half a kilometre and one famous zebra crossing away.
Bourbon Street, New Orleans
The French Quarter has no camera in the catalogue at all — the nearest feeds are Interstate 10, over a kilometre from Bourbon Street.
Ocean Drive, Miami Beach
No camera on Ocean Drive; Miami Beach’s catalogue coverage is the causeways and the interstate, not the Art Deco strip.
Pier 39, San Francisco
No camera within 2 km — San Francisco’s northern waterfront, Fisherman’s Wharf included, is a blank in the catalogue.
Lombard Street, San Francisco
The crooked block has no camera in the catalogue; the Lombard Avenues that do appear are in Portland and Richmond.
Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills
No camera within 2 km. The Rodeos in the catalogue are a Houston subdivision and a town in Arizona.
Camera counts — per place
| Area | Cameras |
|---|---|
| Shibuya Scramble Crossing (Tokyo) | 2 |
| The Las Vegas Strip (Las Vegas) | 26 |
| Duval Street (Key West) | 1 |
| Kalākaua Avenue (Waikiki, Honolulu) | 6 |
Counts are the yield of each place's stated rule over the public camera catalogue — name-matched and place-standing cameras only. A famous place with no qualifying camera is listed in the absences above, never padded with its city's grid.
