Check Road Conditions near Dogata on Route 112

This live camera shows the current road conditions on Route 112 near Dogatamachi in Tsuruoka City. Because this section is close to the urban area, traffic volume may increase during morning and evening hours or during bad weather, and the road surface can look different depending on conditions. Before commuting, going to school, moving around Tsuruoka City, or traveling toward the Shonai area, checking congestion and the road surface can provide peace of mind.

On rainy or snowy days especially, road conditions can vary greatly even along the same Route 112 corridor. It is recommended to check the urban-side conditions with the Dogata camera and, if needed, also view cameras toward Gassan Road or other points in Tsuruoka City.

Useful before Driving in Snow, Ice, or Rain

Route 112 is a major road connecting inland Yamagata Prefecture with the Shonai region, and drivers need to watch for snow and icy roads during winter. The Dogatamachi area is not as high in elevation as the mountain sections of Gassan Road, but during snowfall or cold waves the road may be wet or covered with slushy snow.

Checking the live camera for whiteness on the road surface, traffic flow, and poor visibility can help you adjust departure time or decide whether winter tires or chains are needed. Before driving in heavy snow, blizzards, strong rain, early morning, or at night, checking cameras not only near Dogata but also around Tono-jima, Shimoyamazoe, Ochiai Intersection, and toward Gassan Road makes it easier to understand conditions across Route 112.
