Lebanon TN Webcam, Wilson County, Tennessee

The Lebanon TN Webcam is a City of Lebanon traffic camera at the junction of West Main Street and Maple Hill Road, on the west side of this Middle Tennessee county seat. It looks east along West Main Street, several lanes wide, toward the center of town. The Ascend Federal Credit Union branch fills the left corner, a 7-Eleven fuel station and a car wash sit on the right, and the signal heads and the green Maple Hill Rd street sign hang over the road in the foreground. On a clear day a low line of wooded hills closes off the horizon. A second tab switches to the city camera at West Main Street and West Baddour Parkway, a little farther east, where U.S. Route 70 leaves Main Street.

About Lebanon, Tennessee and West Main Street

Lebanon is the county seat of Wilson County, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of downtown Nashville. It was incorporated in 1801, sits at an elevation of 161 meters (528 feet), and had 38,431 residents at the 2020 census. The town is named after the biblical cedars of Lebanon. Cumberland University was founded here in 1842, and Cracker Barrel, which Dan Evins started in Lebanon in 1969, still keeps its corporate headquarters in town.

West Main Street is the western approach to the city. At Maple Hill Road it carries U.S. Route 70, and the Ascend branch on the left of the picture stands in front of the Publix at Lebanon Center. About 1.1 kilometers (0.7 mile) to the east, at West Baddour Parkway, U.S. 70 swings off onto the parkway while West Main Street continues as U.S. 70 Business toward the Public Square, roughly 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) farther on. The Maple Hill camera sits about 5 kilometers (3.2 miles) west of the Square.

The Baddour Parkway camera looks across that junction from a corner with striped crosswalks and pedestrian signal posts, with the W Baddour Pkwy street sign on the far mast arm and a CenterWell sign off to the right. Both streams come from the city’s own YouTube channel for its traffic cameras. Its logo sits in the bottom left corner of each picture and a caption along the bottom names the intersection.
