This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Give the Public easy access to motorway CCTV cameras
The CCTV camera feeds from Traffic England and Traffic Scotland can only be accesed via their official websites, which are slow, cumbersome and not user-friendly. The Public should be allowed to create bookmarks/shortcuts to their favourite camera, or list of cameras, quickly and easily.
More details
Traffic Wales already provide this service, but England and Scotland don't. During consultation, Highways England were unable to provide any legimate good reason for not allowing the Public to bookmark specific cameras or set up their own websites that show the live feeds in a more user-friendly format.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
