For many, braving the jam at Woodlands or Tuas is part of the JB adventure. But savvy travellers know one thing – before you chiong across the border, you always check the SG causeway’s latest traffic updates. Thankfully, with easy access to JB and SG causeway traffic through these live camera tools, a glance will help you decide whether to hit the road or wait it out this weekend.

Jalanow.com goes beyond just showing live checkpoint cameras – it also gives you an estimate of how long you’ll take to cross, in both directions. Super handy when you’re weighing that JB craving against a possible two-hour crawl.
Its dashboard features a colour-coded traffic speed map, so you can instantly tell if it’s smooth sailing or bumper-to-bumper. It even shows the current weather in SG and JB, and lets you check traffic around key Johor roads like JB CIQ and Jalan Jim Quee.

Of course, JohorTraffic also shows the main checkpoint traffic status in real time, so you won’t miss out on the Causeway picture. But if your JB itinerary always includes ventures beyond the city centre, this website helps you decide if you should brave the extra drive or postpone it.

10. CHECK-TIPS – ICA’s traffic hotline for real-time updates

- Run by ICA – official and reliable

- No internet or smartphone needed
- Quick, voice-prompt system for on-the-go updates
No smartphone? No problem. ICA’s CHECK-TIPS hotline (6863 0117) gives real-time Causeway traffic updates over a quick phone call. Just follow the voice prompts to choose your checkpoint, direction, and even whether you want traffic info before or after customs.
It’s perfect for those without internet access or older family members who drive to JB. The updates are live and official. Just dial, listen, and decide if it’s a good time to go; no need to fumble with the apps or websites – probably one of the safest options for use on the road.
What is the most accurate app that tells you when to leave based on traffic?
When it comes to apps that advise you on the best time to depart, there are a couple of angles. For general driving, Waze has a feature that analyses traffic patterns and can notify you when it’s the best time to leave for your destination (based on current and predicted traffic). Google Maps allows you to set a planned departure or arrival time, and it will suggest when to set off to arrive by a certain time.
For the JB-SG Causeway specifically, Beat The Jam stands out with 24-hour and 6-day forecasts, helping you avoid peak periods. Checkpoint.sg adds trend charts to spot off-peak windows. While no app is perfect, these tools give solid data to help you leave at the right time.
What is the app that gives you traffic alerts?
Motorist is a top pick for JB–SG drivers. It shows checkpoint cameras and sends live notifications about accidents, breakdowns, jams, and any checkpoint issues. SG Traffic Cameras & Updates is another solid option, with updates straight from LTA.
But don’t overlook mainstream apps. Waze and Google Maps offer crowd-sourced alerts for hazards and jams – just enable notifications to stay updated on the go. We also recommend using a mix of these to stay informed from both official and crowd-sourced updates.
Plan smarter with JB SG live camera traffic updates
Crossing the SG-JB border will probably never be completely stress-free, but armed with these live camera feeds and traffic apps, you’ll at least know what you’re in for before you set off. Ultimately, all the effort spent avoiding jams is worth it when you get to enjoy all the things to do in JB – just remember to avoid bringing back any prohibited food from Malaysia to Singapore on the way home!
