How these figures are worked out

The distance and area figures for Santa Fe Springs come from 2,269 sample points, laid 100 metres apart across the area inside its boundary.

Each distance is a straight line from a sample point to the nearest mapped camera of any make, and that camera can stand outside the boundary. The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.

Questions about this page

What does “typical distance” mean for Santa Fe Springs?

It is a median, not the distance from any one address. Of the 2,269 sample points inside Santa Fe Springs, half are closer to a mapped camera than 0.3 miles and half are farther. For the cameras nearest to a spot you care about, check that address itself.

Why is a camera I have seen not counted here?

Most likely nobody has added it to OpenStreetMap, which is where every pin on this site comes from. That makes each count on this page a floor: the cameras somebody has mapped, and no others. Add the camera there and it shows up here after the next refresh, which runs once a week.

How to add or correct a pin

Why does the title say “Flock & Other” and not just “Flock”?

All 49 mapped cameras here are recorded as Flock Safety’s. The page still says “other” because a count of mapped cameras is a floor: one that nobody has mapped yet could be another maker’s.
