PORTUGAL

If anybody has speed camera data for other coutries (in any format) then please get in touch, as i can format the data so that it can be used with the next release of D3.

Where did you find the database for portugal??

DAM no USA, anybody have anything. Ive been looking but with no luck

i dont think there is a database for the speed cameras in the US, so i guess all of us in the states are sol

I found a list of speed cameras in Australia a list by street name, would this be any use? I figured it would be too difficult to sort through them as presumably each street name would have to be turned into a long/lat.

EDIT: Ok, just went back and had a look at the list I found on the web and aparently there are approx 2500 speed cameras in victoria alone! Probable BS. Anyway, I found this site instead for anyone that is interested: http://www.roadwatch.com.au/

From the website you posted, its possible to make a speedcam file that covers sydney and new south wales. Would this be useful to anyone?

So far the US does not use Speed camera's for ticketing so there is no database yet. I know there is a lot of talk about using them here in milwaukee, but nothing has prevailed yet.
All a speed camera is, is a camera mounted on a light post that snaps a pic of you liscense plate as you go speeding by, so you will automatically be issued a ticket when you speed past these cameras. I dont think I like the idea. I just got a $500.00 ticket from a cop, if it was issued from a camera I would not have much bargaining power and probably would also be with out a liscense...

We could need a red-light camera database We have a plethora of these in LA There is also a database with common cop hideouts
