Live camera on SR-28, with the current status of the road it sits on and the forecast at the nearest pass.
Storm alerts
A notification on this device when chain control starts, changes or lifts, or a road closes or reopens. Pick your roads:
An alert is a heads-up that something changed, not a road report, and it can arrive a few minutes after the change. Before you drive, check Caltrans QuickMap or Nevada 511 (nvroads.com), or call 511. A few alerts a day at most; no account, no email, and you can turn them off here any time (what we keep).

What this camera shows
This live video stream captures traffic conditions along a narrow stretch of the shoreline, situated at an elevation of 6,436 feet. Because this camera is positioned between the chain-control points at the Nevada Stateline and Lardin Way, it serves as a critical midpoint indicator for drivers traveling along the coast. Monitoring this feed provides a real-time assessment of whether vehicles are moving freely or slowing down as they encounter tighter curves or changing precipitation levels.
Since this feed is a live video stream rather than a static image, it is particularly useful for gauging the immediate pace of traffic flow. While the elevation is similar to the camera at Crystal Bay, the view here is distinct from the perspective at Sand Harbor. Watching the movement on this screen helps determine if road conditions are deteriorating before you reach the control points located at lower elevations, offering a clearer picture of current transit speeds than a still image would provide.
SR-28: questions answered
Chain-control points on SR-28
Caltrans does not control the whole road at once — it sets controls at whichever point matches the snow level, so the same storm produces controls at different places on different days. These are the California-side points, highest first:
| Point | Elevation | Near | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nevada Stateline | 6,391 ft | Kings Beach | Clear |
| Lardin Way (Dollar Hill) | 6,295 ft | Carnelian Bay | Clear |
| Tahoe City (SR28/89 Jct) | 6,256 ft | Tahoe City | Clear |
