RIDOT has several very useful tools available for travelers: Large interactive versions of the statewide map shown below, and the map of Jamestown and areas to the west are available on the RIDOT web site. RIDOT also offers a page summarizing lane closures and traffic forecasts.

The RIDOT maps show the location of cameras, accessible by clicking on the camera icon (on the full-size map on the RIDOT site) that monitor traffic conditions. Two, of special interest, show the Jamestown Verrazano bridge from North Kingstown and Jamestown.
