Are the red light and speed camera files directional like in WAZE? Also why are there seperate files for red light cameras and speed cameras? Why not just combine the two?

The red light files are not yet directional.
The reason they are not combines is so that you can be alerted to them separately. The speed camera files will alert you if you are going aver the speed for that particular camera. To do that the format of the files are different.
Take a look at the files using Notepad and you will see the "@" symbol in the speed file to designate at what speed any alert is to use as its trigger.
Maybe this page from POI Loader will help explain
Understanding Speed and Proximity Alert Information
POI Loader automatically scans .csv and .gpx data files for speed and proximity alert information.
You can also use Manual mode to specify default speed and proximity alert information as needed.
Speed Information
Speed information can be included in the file name or in the names of individual POIs within the file.
POI Loader determines speed information based on the following information, listed from highest to lowest priority:
Speed information included in the name of the individual Custom POI. For example, a POI named "SpeedZone@30" will have an alert speed of 30 regardless of the speed information specified in Manual mode or in the file name.
Speed information entered in Manual mode.
Speed information included in the file name. POI Loader interprets any numbers in the file name as speed information.
Proximity Alert Information
Proximity alert information can be calculated automatically based on speed information. It can also be included in .gpx data files or added in Manual mode.
POI Loader determines proximity alert information based on the following criteria, listed from highest to lowest priority:
Proximity alert information listed for individual POIs in a .gpx file. This information overrides all other proximity alert information.
Proximity alert information entered in Manual mode.
Proximity alert distance calculated by POI Loader based on speed information in the file name or in individual POI names. This calculation uses the following formula:
Prompt Distance = 36 seconds * Speed.
A default proximity alert distance of 400 meters/0.25 miles if the file name contains the word "redlight."
If there is a TourGuide audio file attached and no other proximity alert information is available, POI Loader assigns a proximity alert distance of 0.25 miles.
Thanks. That explains it
Thanks. That explains it very clearly.
