I am changing my policy about posting details about camera locations.....

Good ideas about how to handle the camera locations. Who are the competitor sites? This and the Tips sites are the only 2 POI sites I visit.

Is that a new picture and haircut? Good picture, but great haircut.

So we should be discussing specific locations?

In Nassau and Suffolk County NY the counties are keeping locations secret, as well as Newsday, the local newspaper. Links to Newsday are no good because it is a pay site except for today's news.

All camera locations are found and submitted by POI Factory members.

return of Redlight cameras to Northern VA

The following quote is all I have right now.

In Arlington, police obtained approval from VDOT last week to place cameras at five locations: four on Lee Highway and one at North Glebe Road and Fairfax Drive in Ballston.

#1. Why would anybody want to post camera locations from competitors here - This is the best listing on the net!
#2. That said - since Florida enacted their law concerning Redlight Cameras and they get the bigger cut, here in Naples they haven't added any new cameras. I will keep you posted as they remove cameras.
#3. I like the picture.

Where do you want the links to news stories posted? Here or start new individual threads per story/location?

I would like to see separate threads for each area.

I guess this one for Nassau County should do as we have been using it for quite a while now:

Is it futile to ask those posting redlight camera locations to review the pictures of redlight vs. traffic cameras before completing a posting. In the DC area, there are probably over a thousand traffic-monitoring cameras vs. a couple hundred redlight cameras. (Yeah, I know it's a good idea to avoid running yellow lights in general, but the sound is annoying.)

I'm curious about where you find 'false alarms' in the DC area. I spend 99% of my driving time in Maryland/Montgomery County, but have not yet found an alert for non-ticket traffic cams.

Miss POI said in part..

I just saw a news report, ie:

http://www.bradenton.com/2011/02/04/2930307/camera-proposal-...

..that has to do with proposed "License Plate Verification Cameras" in a neighboring town. Do you want us to include these as well?

Dang it, my wife just set up a speed camera watching my case of Old Bushmills Irish Whiskey. Now that is something to worry about!

Unlike red light cameras what are you going to do if you know there is a license plate camera? I don't see the need for a poi file but then that's just me.

Not a problem. Just move REALLY slow and you won't set off the camera. But I'm not responsible for what happens if your wife walks in on you during the heist!

Someone told me that there is a bill about to be introduced in Tennessee pertaining to camera. Any knowledge?

Like the town that was mentioned in the link I posted.. and to answer your question....

I just wouldn't go into that town for any reason.

Why does it seem like it's ok for the government to photograph and watch you.. yet if you try doing the same thing to them they feel it's a no-no..!!..?

Just as one example, Walmart videos you.

Do you go to Walmart?

Why would a municipality keep the location of red light cameras secret? If the purpose is to stop red light runners, tell everyone where they are and thus create safer intersections.

Should we include bus lane camera locations? There is a pilot program in NYC that may cost you over $100 for driving in a bus lane. Is NYC the only city that is blessed with these beauties? I haven't been nailed yet, but it may be time to start a list...

I find them all over, but how about Connecticut & Bradley or Georgia & Seminary Road?

Good to know. I don't get to Conn & Bradley much and never noticed Ga & Seminary. Since my post I did notice one that's probably not speed or RL at Strathmore & Kenilworth though.

So far that's 3 out of about 47 for M.County. Not too hateful, but since Miss Poi is asking for posting of public links, maybe that will help 'prune' the list. 'All over' seemed a bit much from my experience, but then again I don't put on a lot of daily driving miles over a large area.

Post that a new camera has been installed along with the town and state. Transmit the actual coordinates via email. Casual browsers will see that something new is being done, but will still have to be active or pay to get the exact locations. Us regulars just need to get the new file.

Just a thought...

Many of the lights around here I have never been able to verify as I just do not drive around them...linking in references is easy.

Not sure if it's been posted but I noticed a "flash" yesterday at the corner of Brick Blvd and Hooper Ave in NJ.

Upon driving up to the intersection, yep red light camera.

With that said, is there a way of seeing the list of camera locations?

I don't mind paying for the service, but want to make sure it has value for me.

Also, if subscribed can the downloaded list work for IGO8.3.

Thanks

Here is the coverage area http://www.poi-factory.com/poifiles/us/red-light-cameras

I saw that, but was hoping to get a detailed list per State.

Yup, that location is in the file. You will find the RLC file to be very accurate and up to date.

Not familiar with the IGO system, but hopefully someone else here can answer that question.

This may be a more detailed http://www.poi-factory.com/node/1353

You remind me of Agent Scully from the X-Files.....And that's a good thing!

I used to be a red head and that was a pick up line that I got many times.

She is my celebrity look alike.

That is one of my favorite shows.

Miss POI

The list of communities for New York does not show Centereach, Long Island. The alerts are accurate, just the community is not listed.

My only comment is - Why would anybody want to put a competitor's cameras on this site, when the best most up to date locations are already here. I someone wants to use another company's file then keep it on their gps and don't try to take credit for the cameras
