How to request traffic camera footage from the New Jersey Department of Transportation

To request traffic camera footage from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT), you must submit a request within seven days of the event or incident. The NJDOT operates and maintains a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) video system to manage traffic and identify day-to-day traffic operational issues. The cameras are mounted on poles and record traffic conditions, delays, incidents, and weather conditions. The footage is retained for seven calendar days before being automatically overwritten.

To make a request, you need to fill out a Traffic Camera Video Request Form or a Video Log Request Form. Requests by mail or fax are not accepted. The charge for a three-hour recorded time frame is $100, and each additional three-hour period requested incurs a fee of $50.

After submitting your request, the NJDOT will notify you if it has been accepted. Payment of the relevant fee is due within thirty days of this notification. If payment is not received within this period, the requested information will be destroyed. Please note that the NJDOT may deny requests and will provide an explanation for any denial via email.

Dynamic maps of the Garden State Parkway

The Garden State Parkway is a tolled highway stretching 172 miles from Cape May in southern New Jersey to the New York border at Montvale. It is the longest highway in the state and was the busiest toll road in the US in 2006. The highway has 11 toll plazas and 11 service areas. It is primarily for passenger vehicles, with trucks over 10,000 pounds prohibited north of exit 105.

The parkway was constructed between 1946 and 1957 to connect northern New Jersey suburbs with Jersey Shore resort areas and alleviate traffic on traditional routes. It has seen various improvements since, including interchange additions and reconstructions, bridge replacements, and widening of the roadway.
