Ticket cameras

I get home from vacation and find my inbox flooded with red light camera reports;) What a great Christmas Present for me:) I will work on cross referencing them all this week and adding the new locations as soon as I can.
To everyone that sent me a report, thank you so much. You make my job so much easier.

Hey! Merry Christmas!
Like a lot of people, I got a new toy! So, I've been doing a lot of research lately and found this site, cool! Of course I had to check out the Red Lights, and found some questionable sites in my town. I've emailed Miss Poi to confirm these locations, but I thought I'd offer some of my wealth of useless knowledge......
Here in North Texas, as I suspect a lot of the country, they are installing new traffic light SENSORS. The old sensors were buried loops in each traffic lane at the light. These loops detected a magnetic field when a vehicle passed over or stopped at the light (motorcycles were iffy). They would cut a big square in the pavement and stuff several loops of wire in there, and then try to waterproof this with a tar sealant. These loops were always failing after time with water getting in. The new SENSORS are cameras, located on the pole with the traffic lights. Using software they can "map" the different traffic lanes, so that one camera can "see" 2, 3 or 4 different traffic lanes. The SENSOR only tells the traffic computer if there is a vehicle waiting for the light. These are not the Red Light cameras that we are interested in.

I am a newbie to the world of GPS, but it did not take me long to discover that there was a Red Light Camera alert. Of course like everyone else, I had to have it. I successfully downloaded and updated my C330. My question is, I thought that these locations were editable so that you could add things like, the actual location, the speed limit at the location and so on? I have not found a way to do that.

Does anyone know why there are no red light camera POIs for New Jersey? I can't seem to find them.

If anyone else on this site lives in Winnipeg you can get a list and map of the "Red Light, or Photo Enforcement Intersections (what they call them here)" on the police website at:

Despite this list and warning signs before each permanent installation, I have still mangaged to get at least 1 speeding ticket a year as sometimes I am just not paying attention until I see the "flash" in my rear view mirror.

How/where can I check on-line to see if all the red light cameras that I know of in Calgary are already posted?

I have a Street Pilot C330 and downloaded some Red Light Camera POIs and then transfered them to my device how do I make it display them? I did not see any category for Traffic Cameras or Red Light Cameras when I selected Where to. Are the Red Light Camera POIs compatible with my Street Pilot c330?

Thanks

I was wondering how many RLC (for Columbus) you have in your database?

The site does not give a count.

Thanks,

I'm looking for a resource that would tell me all locations for red light cameras in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. I want to make my first attempt at creating a custom POI for my garmin nuvi 360.

So are there ticket cameras in SF Bay Area?

I am looking on this page to download the redlight camera POI but I don't even think Steve Wonder can figure see where the download link is to actually get started. Help!

Just came across this listing of red light cams in the Dallas area, not sure if they've been captured in a POI file yet, but seems we have quite a few Texans on here so thought I'd share this.

EDIT: sent to Miss POI via the "report a red light camera" page".

Found this today, interesting reading

I just noticed that my fair city has (or plans) to install these. Anyone have more info?

Well, I'm kind of scared because I got a certified letter in the mail from the Dallas police. This is the ONLY thing I can think of it being... The thing is I can't recall running a red light. I don't remember the flash that you all are talking about.

I live in Euless and drive to Irving every day. I'm rarely in Dallas. Anyone have any idea if they deliver these via certified mail? I gues

Does anyone know if Mass. and/or RI have speed cameras?I've seen many states listed here yet very little for these 2 states which surprises me seeing how populated these states are.

Can I upload a red light camera file for the US that i purchased from a different source for comparison or possible merge with current files ????

Hi there Cool,

Here is an article about red light cameras
FHWA Report on red light cameras

Some cities have red light traffic cameras in high traffic accident intersections to help cut down the amount of right angle crashes and also cut down on red light running. If you go past a certain mark in the intersection after the light turns red your car will be photographed and you will receive a ticket in the mail.

I paid my $5 but didnt get a link to click on, so I couldnt download the Red Light POIs. What do I do now?

There is a camera in Belle Harbor, Queens, known on maps as Rockaway Park, Queens. Seems not to be in the database. Is there something else I'm supposed to do?
