Description

The live traffic camera feed provides images from 177 cameras at key sites across the Capital, showing what's happening on London's streets. All images are TfL branded, have a location description, and date and time-stamp. They are refreshed at least every three minutes. Individual feeds may be interrupted if there is a system fault or if a camera is being serviced. Images are not captured when a camera is in use for managing traffic, when a camera is being maintained or in the event of a camera or system fault. Some ideas for re-use include: * Freight or delivery services could use the live feed to follow traffic traffic conditions and plan routes accordingly * Radio stations could add a live camera feed to a traffic news page * Organisations with staff intranets could add the traffic camera feed so people can plan their journeys home Find out more about the [feeds](https://www.tfl.gov.uk/info-for/open-data-users/our-feeds "TfL Feeds") available from Transport for London. *The BBC use TFL camera images for the live camera feeds on their website.* Visit the [BBC website to see live camera images](http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/london/trafficcameras).
