Red light camera locations

The POI Factory is not able to repost their data because of licensing laws. They have worked hard to build there database and I would not want do anything that would be unethical. We respect our competitors and would not try to benefit from their hard work.

I wasnt sure what the ethical implications were just trying to help Im sure somewhere there has to be some sort of right to know about the locations of these speed and red light cameras

I spend most of my day looking through city websites, city reports, news reports to find my data. Thanks for the help though, there is nothing that sais that you can't use the data yourself.

A company by the name of Gatsometer invented the red light camera in Europe about 40 years ago. In the 1980s, US Public Technologies was founded and began installing cameras in the United States. In 1999, Lockheed Martin purchased US Public Technologies and is currently the largest contractor of red light cameras in the United States.

Currently, there are approximately 345 cameras used at intersections within 30 cities. The Department of Transportation reports that 19 States use or are planning to install red light cameras (AZ, CO, DC, IL, MD, NC, NY, OR, TN, VA, WA, AL, AR, GA, IN, IA, KS, LA, MI and VT). 11 States prohibit their use (AL, FL, KY, NE, NV, NM, ND, OH, TE, UT and WI).

but I see Ohio suppositly prohibits thier use but there are 3 that use them from the lists Ive seen and I know stubinville has been trying to so it seems the goverment doesnt even know whats going on LOL

Thanks for the link, I will be researching this info to see if they have any new information that I don't have yet.

Is there an easy way to compare the www.photoenforced.com red light database and the poi-factory red light database?

Bob

There are many duplicate entries on that other site.
Since it is user entered... one intersection say main and 1st can appear as 1st and main, lst & main, nain/first, or any other combination (or spelling errors).

Not an easy task.

I would stick with the poi-factory red light database!

Thanks for the feedback. I was going to give it a try, but it does sound like the match-up would be difficult to determine between the two databases.

It can be done, and it's not horribly difficult but you need more than beginner level pc & web skills/software. I can email you the details or better yet tell me what area you're interested in comparing.

If I were a betting man though, I'd bet on Miss POI's being more complete & accurate.

I don't use data from other sites like mine. I use government and news sources.

Please do not turn in data from sites that provide the same service as I do.

(Hope that wasn't directed at me .. 'cuz I hope you know me better than that!)

But further to the question of the comparison, POI Factory wins yet again.

As an example for Red Light Cams in my area (Maryland):
Site 'PE'- 512 raw listings, 200 after dupe removal
POI Factory- 229 constantly updated, date-stamped, and continuously field-verified by Miss POI's roving road-gnomes.
