Live Traffic Map: Road Conditions Heading into an August Weekend

In the remaining weekends before Labor Day, slowdowns and traffic jams on the Garden State Parkway, Route 37 and Route 166 in Toms River are likely, but if you are looking for a real-time view of traffic and beach conditions, we found some options.

Want a peek at what traffic is going on right now? In this real-time traffic map from Mapquest, green portions mean traffic is flowing freely, while yellow and red indicate traffic delays.

The map shows where traffic slows on major commuter roads such as Route 9/166, the Garden State Parkway and Route 37, among others.

Zoom in or out if there's a route where you need a close-up.

Today we centered the map at the intersection of Route 37 and Route 166.

Besides a map-style glimpse, there's also a lot of traffic cameras and beach cameras you can view.
