Johnny_Quest:I hope this catagory would include red light cameras intersections.
Speed Cameras would be the wrong name if it included other means of (Automated) Traffic Enforcement, like Red Light Cameras. It would be better named "Traffic Enforcement" or such.
Now, I do have to ask the question --- this is covered quite nicely by POIFriends and such sites for people that just want alerts on their GPS.
How would this be a good waymarking category --- ? I mean, around here walking up to a police officer on duty, snapping his/her photo and recording the co-ordinates is just begging to be interpreted wrong. The United Kingdom (not where I live) just activated a new law on Monday that effectively makes it illegal to photograph a police officer (anti-terrorism laws), or so the photography blogs have been buzzing about this week.
I know a few of us would be smart enough to actually ask permission first but ... there's a good opportunity to get in trouble.
If we're just talking about speed CAMERAs and such that particular issue goes away. Another potential issue here is the idea of permanence. Waymarking tends to be about the location, and while speed traps can tend to go to similar places repeatedly, they will also move around when the speeders learn to behave, or (more typically) the speeders catch on to that particular trap.
"Take a photo of a radar trap, and mark the location" sorta calls out "Photo Challenge" more than "Category"
