The latest added to the map

Good to know

  • Counted from OpenStreetMap as DeFlock published it on Oct 14, 2026. Volunteers map readers as they find them, so some are missing and a few may already be gone.
  • Counted inside the Census Bureau’s 2024 boundary for California.
  • 4,591 readers have an operator mapped; the rest are run by someone OpenStreetMap doesn’t name.
  • The cone on the map shows the mapped direction; its width and reach are typical for these cameras, not measured.
