If you're the city or the RLC company, they are help lin3 their respective pockets.

If your the one getting the ticket, they help to liten your wallet!

So, it all depends, and it's still not those kinds depends! razz

No, speed traps are dynamic in where they are located.. this file addresses cameras that are "planted" into the ground.

Some areas have speed cameras, there is a separate file for those.

Also if you look through the POI files there are some files for known speed trap locations but nothing in real time.

I put together a POI for places the Pennsylvania State Police have been seen using RADAR on I-95, there are files like that for other places too in the "checkpoints/safety zone" area of the forum.

Are you asking about the cameras, or the POI files telling you where cameras are located?

Welcome to POI Factory from another P.R.o.M. subject.

Yes, it is helpful.

Yes, it is helpful.

Yes

Yes, I too have found them helpful.

RLC's

As far as I am concerned RLC's are great !
Where I live there are too many who will go through completely red lights. In fact I see it many times where they have ample time to stop but chose to step on the gas and accelerate through a red light.

Serves them right to be hit with a hefty fine and eventually if or when the insurance company finds out about these tickets, their premiums go up quite a bit.
