The service is quite new and already has 4,655 cameras across 7 countries, including most of the major cities like New York, Washnigton, London, Sydney etc. You don’t need to register or pay for anything, it’s free and can be accessed both from computer or mobile phone (data usage fees may apply).

Features:

  • Check out live traffic conditions from your mobile phone.
  • Browse traffic cameras by country, state, city and street.
  • Includes over 4600 cameras across US, Canada, Austalia, China, Luxemborg, Sweden, United Kingdom.
  • Requirements: web-enabled mobile device with a data plan.
  • What’s missing: Maps integration, no search option.

Please note, if you plan to use this service on a regular basis then make sure to check with your mobile carrier about the data usage fees. Unless you are on an unlimited data plan, using MobileTraffic.tv from a mobile phone can be quite costly.
