Five Corners, Vineyard Haven
Where every ferry unloads onto Martha's Vineyard: Five Corners in Vineyard Haven, on a live webcam.
About this view
Five Corners is the junction at the top of the ferry dock in Vineyard Haven, where five streets meet without a traffic light, and this live cam watches it from above: the island's one real traffic jam, made new every time a ferry unloads its cars onto Martha's Vineyard.
Between ferries it is a small-town crossroads with cyclists, delivery trucks and people walking up from the boat; ten minutes after a landing it is a line of cars with mainland plates waiting to turn. In summer the police direct it by hand, and the wait is the island's favourite complaint.
Vineyard Haven keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5, UTC−4 in summer. The junction is busiest around each arrival from Woods Hole, from about 07:30 to the last boat in the evening, and busiest of all on a summer Friday; in winter the traffic thins to what 20,000 year-round islanders need.
