Ticket cameras

I've been noticing new 65 mile an hour speed limit signs going up more and more around the valley. My Garmin 760 is still showing the limit as 55. Hopefully in time all stretchs of the I-10 will be 65 (since everyone is doing 55 thanks to the cameras).

Summary:

Surprised state lawmakers learned Thursday that the photo enforcement cameras they authorized last year to catch speeders are actually taking - and keeping - videos of everyone who passes...

If you live or drive in Az now you will have to be very careful of your speed on the freeways if there is a construction zone and a speed camera in that zone ,,If they have the construction zone speed set at 40 mph then the speed cameras have also been rest to catch speeders, so be very aware will driving in constructions zones. This was on news channel 3 ,,3 on your side with Gary Harper.

I live in Ohio and recently became aware that Toledo is doing away with their red light cameras. There was a ballot initiative started to ban them and apparently, rather than place the issue on the ballot, the city has decided to remove them.

I'd like to see the speed camera locations: fixed or mobile in different files. Police cars can park almost anywhere, and I don't think those should be listed on the same file as real fixed speed cameras.

El Mirage on Thursday became the first city in Arizona -- and one of the few in the country -- to use cameras to fine railroad-crossing violators.

10 mobile, 10 fixed.

Once I become an active member, how do I get to the download file for the Red Light and speed cameras? I don't see the link anywhere...

As a Christmas present to those living in and traveling to Miami Florida, the city released a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for Traffic Safety Cameras. The proposals are due and will be opened in late January.

When I first downloaded the Red Light and Speed Camera files I would get a red warning across the top of my Garmin that would say something like "Speed Camera 65MPH" or whatever the speed limit is at that location. The update on the 17th things changed. All my warnings after that would either not come up or say 2MPH.

Hi All: I was wondering about the topic of receiving a ticket in the mail and how legal that is? What if you claim you never received the ticket? Don't they have to serve you? If so, what if they can't? Does a mailed ticket get removed in a certain amount of time if they can not serve you? What if your friend is driving your car and the photo does not match your license?

A funny story about red light cameras and Santas in Arizona. Anyone want to confess here?

http://kfyi.com/cc-common/news/sections/newsarticle.html?fee...

Questions

1) why does the speed file contain red light alerts as well? Shouldn't the speed file be just for speed? and the red light just for red lights?

2)Maybe the file was setup that way because you can't have both speed and redlight at the same coordinates?

3)I am thinking of copying the lines that say redlight and putting them in the redlight.csv. Bad idea?

Can anyone tell me how to edit a red light camera file? POI editor doesnt seem to reconize it, but excel does open the file but I have no way of knowing the exact co-ordinates to add. If I find them out will that work? and how would I find them. Thanks

How many would like to know how to set speed alerts to only alert if you are going to fast!!!!

Well I have searched on this site and read all the threads and even the help section in the poi loader and it was not clear to me on how this works. I have been watching and reading all this stuff and I see there are a lot of us that can’t understand a lot of this lingo.
