Calgary roads, right now.

This page pulls from two feeds: 511 Alberta (the province's traffic management system) and the City of Calgary's own incident reporting. Between them, you get active incidents, construction zones, and road closures across the city — updated every 15 minutes around the clock. Most traffic apps show you a coloured line on a map and call it a day. This gives you the actual event details: what happened, which lanes are affected, and how severe it is.

Below you'll find live status for Calgary's 9 major corridors — Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail, Crowchild Trail, Macleod Trail, Glenmore Trail, Memorial Drive, 16th Avenue, Sarcee Trail, and Shaganappi Trail — plus over 100 traffic cameras you can filter by quadrant. Each corridor also has its own dedicated page with intersection details, peak hour patterns, and active construction projects. Traffic conditions pair well with the neighbourhood profiles if you're evaluating commute routes alongside community data.

About Calgary Traffic Data on This Page

How the data works. The incident feed refreshes every 15 minutes from 511 Alberta and the City of Calgary's open data portal. When 511 reports a collision on Deerfoot at Glenmore, or the City flags a water main break closing a lane in Beltline, it shows up here within that cycle. Each event includes a severity level (major, moderate, minor, or info), the affected road, a description of the disruption, and the quadrant — so you can filter down to just the incidents that affect your commute.

The corridor pages. The 9 corridor pages go deeper than this dashboard. Deerfoot Trail's page, for example, covers all major interchanges from Stoney Trail South to Stoney Trail North, tracks the $615-million Deerfoot Trail Improvements Program (with the Glenmore interchange rebuild targeted for 2026), and lists which neighbourhoods sit along the route. It's the kind of context that's useful when you're deciding whether that "20-minute commute" a real estate listing promises is actually realistic.

Cameras. The traffic camera feeds come from the City of Calgary's camera network and update in near-real-time. You can browse them as a grid or on a map, and filter by quadrant (NE, NW, SE, SW) or search by intersection name. They're particularly useful during winter — when road condition reports say "icy patches" but you want to see for yourself what 14th Street actually looks like right now.

Connecting to neighbourhoods. Traffic patterns are one of the things that actually shape daily life in a neighbourhood — and they're almost never included in the neighbourhood profiles you find elsewhere. If you're evaluating communities, the corridor status here pairs well with the neighbourhood profiles on our communities page. A place like Cranston might look perfect on paper, but its only major north-south route is Deerfoot Trail — and that context matters.
