"the 50 cameras, which went online gradually during the last 10 months, produced less money than originally expected -- and that future funds will be cut in half because of a new law mandating that some of the profits go to the state."
I just got back from a week in the Vancouver metro region. My Nuvi was sounding off with a lot of speed camera warnings, and I could never spot anything. Mostly they were on deserted and lonely stretches of highways. Does anyone know if these alleged cameras actually exist?

i've seen some intersections w/ small black objects probably around size of can of soda w/ two protruding black metal parts. are they redlight cameras? they're not like the 12" silver boxes the size of a shoe that look more like cameras.
I've heard mixed things. Are you allowed to make a right turn on the right most lane when the light is red? I know you can't do it for some corners that say: 'no turn on red'. what about the corners that don't say anything? do you need to wait for green? or just inch up past the white crosswalk lines, and then turn?
What is the difference between the subscription that you can get from Garmin directly and the POI file that you can download from the POI factory website. I saw that you have to pay for the Garmin subscription. Are the locations the same between the two and are the locations from POI factory up-to-date?
what percentage of the red light cameras in los angeles/orange county area are covered in the poi-factory's database? how many cameras are in this database? thanks.
Yes, its true. The first stop sign cameras in the nation have been installed in Southern California. These cameras are installed at intersections in the Santa Monica mountains. The complete story can be read at http://www.latimes.com/news/local. I have submitted the file locations for the Red Light database.
Our TV (WFAA.com July 10) news cast yesterday reported an Electrical Engineer in Richardson, TX (suburb of Dallas), challenging the City of Richardson concerning the length of their yellow lights. It seems as he received a ticket from a red light camera. This person returned to the intersection location, timed the yellow light he was caught on, and it changed in 3.1 or 3.2 seconds.
I just returned from a trip to Buffalo, NY. I was told that the city plans to install over 200 red light cameras sometime later this year. While there, I also noticed that many cities in the Buffalo area are using unmarked cars to nab speeders.
Two more cameras going active in Corpus Christi today - 1 at Greenwood and Gollihar, and 1 at Holly and Everhart Southbound (Northbound already active). By July 12, Ocean Drive at Doddridge Street and Airline Road at McArdle Road will be active.
I'm just wondering if the E/W (east / west) directionals for the cameras actually work. In other words if I am heading North and the camera file has E/W does it alert me? or are they there just to let you know if you are reading the alert?
Recently I was thinking, I don't run red lights, why do I need this red light list. I did a search and found many suggestions, etc. I decided that I still didn't need them. Then...
Well it is finally underway guys. I am expanding the enforcement cameras database to include speed cameras. For now, I am putting them in a separate file that is included with the red light cameras download. It is not an impressive file size-wise; I am still in research mode and gathering locations.

Difference between Garmin red light subscription and POI Factory red light file
What is the difference between the subscription that you can get from Garmin directly and the POI file that you can download from the POI factory website.

I need some clarification
When loading speed alerts manually (using POI Loader), what should the default speed be? I hope this isn't a "dumb" question!

Are the E/W N/S important?
I'm just wondering if the E/W (east / west) directionals for the cameras actually work. In other words if I am heading North and the camera file has E/W does it alert me? or are they there just to let you know if you are reading the alert?
