About Traffic Cameras

A transparency map for publicly-disclosed traffic-enforcement and ALPR cameras — search near you or check a route, with every pin tied to a dated, linked source.

Traffic Cameras maps publicly-disclosed traffic-enforcement cameras (red-light, speed, school-zone and work-zone) and, as a separate layer, ALPR/surveillance cameras from open community mapping. It's an awareness and transparency tool: knowing where enforcement cameras are encourages compliance and informed driving.

How it works

Every camera record carries its source, a confidence level, and a last-verified date. Data comes from three tiers:

Official open data — government open-data portals (Socrata/CKAN), agency web pages, and structured feeds such as the USDOT Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx).
Community mapping — the ALPR layer uses the open DeFlock / OpenStreetMap project (ODbL).
Agentic verification — for areas without a structured feed, an automated research agent gathers locations from official sources, validates each finding twice, and only writes records confirmed both times. Areas are re-checked at least every 60 days and on-demand when you search somewhere new.

What it is not

Camera locations are aggregated from public government sources and open community mapping data and may be incomplete, outdated, or inaccurate. Traffic Cameras is an informational tool, not legal advice, and using it does not guarantee you won't receive a citation. Always obey posted signs and speed limits.

Who built it

Traffic Cameras is built by Debajyoti Saikia, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft who builds AI-powered products. More of his work is on GitHub and LinkedIn.
