Half of the gaps are shorter than 0.3 miles, and the middle half run from 350 feet to 0.6 miles. In Little Rock, 27 of 121 cameras stand within 200 feet (60 metres) of another, which usually means two on one pole or a group at one intersection.

A direction is recorded for 88% of the cameras here (107 of 121 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is north, with 17 cameras. Because 5 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 112 directions from 107 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set; that leaves out 11 cameras here.

The direction is the compass bearing a mapper noted for the camera, as it stood when they looked.

In Little Rock, 44 of 121 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 36% of the cameras here.
