Before adding a Camera to the Waze map, you should make sure that it is indeed a Camera. There are many devices that look like speed cameras or red light cameras but are not.
Cameras are displayed in the editor and can be maintained when Camera is checked in the Hazards map layer. Maintenance requires at least L3.
A new Camera can be added by clicking on in the top left corner of the editor and then - cameras are one of the types of Hazards - on . Select Cameras here.
Then specify the desired camera type. Waze has a whole range of them. We only use:
Speed camera - only checks for exceeding the Speed limit. The speed at which the check is made is the speed at which the driver is driving.
Red light camera - checks for driving through red lights and speeding
Dummy camera - does nothing.
Telephone camera, focus flash - a camera that checks whether a motorist is holding a telephone in their hand and possibly checks also on driving at speed and through red lights.
Place the Camera at the desired location and specify the direction in which the camera flashes: one direction or both directions.
Place redlight camera's on the stop line. Other cameras must be placed at the location of the pole itself. The camera clicks onto the segment in question. It is not possible to monitor two segments, for example separated lanes, with one camera. In this situation, use two cameras, one for each direction of travel.
Warnings
The app warns for a speed camera when the camera is monitoring in the direction of travel regardless of the speed at which you drive.
The app warns for a red light camera when it is pointing in the direction of travel.
No warning is given for subsequent cameras when they are within 500m of a previous camera as the crow flies. The warning is then given for the first camera.
The dummy camera doesn't warn.
Notes
Flexflitsers are also placed on the map. Add a Map comment in which you indicate that it is a temporary flex flash camera. An overview of Flexflitsers locations with their PL is maintained in the Flexflitser sheet.
A focus flash fires in one direction: only flashes oncoming traffic.
Sometimes there is a Dummy camera somewhere. These flash cameras are sometimes placed on the map to prevent app users from reporting these cameras as real flash cameras.
Some Hazards will issue a warning sooner than others. For example, a warning for a railroad crossing may override a warning for a Camera that is reached sooner.
It is not possible to specify for a Camera that it only flashes left-turning, right-turning or straight-through traffic. The Speed Camera is displayed regardless of the route to be followed.
Traject Controle cameras (TC) are not placed on the map as flash cameras. For TC, only use the Traject Controle checkboxes of the relevant road segments.
Use the same level as the road segment as the locking level, with a minimum of L3.
Camera reports are published in the Slack channel #camera-bot.
Sheet flexflitsers
Doordat het aantal tijdelijke flitspalen steeds meer toeneemt, is er een speciale sheet waarin de diverse controle locaties worden bijgehouden. Zie voor dit overzicht het Flexflitser sheet.
Een korte uitleg bij de kolommen van deze sheet:
A: De soort flitspaal (snelheid of telefoon)
B: De te controleren rijrichting. Bij het terugkeren van de flitspaal kan je met deze gegevens de flitspaal makkelijk instellen.
C tot/met F : De locatiegegevens van de flitspaal.
G: Een PL (permalink) van de kaartopmerking in WME. Deze kaartopmerking teken je over de controle locatie heen, lock je op minimaal L3 of hoger en vul daarbij geen vervaldatum in. Zo voorkomen we dat de kaartopmerkingen verdwijnen op de kaart.
H: Vul hier de datum van plaatsen (in WME) in, in Kolom I verschijnt dan de datum wanneer de flitspaal weer verwijderd gaat worden.
J: Vul hier de datum van verwijderen in. Zo kan gemakkelijk zien wanneer de laatste keer de flitspaal gezien is.
K: Vul hier de status van de flitspaal in. Actief: bij een geplaatste flitspaal Oude locatie: Bij het verwijderen van de flitspaal.
