• Within half a mile of a mapped camera42% of the area

Both figures are shares of the area inside the boundary of Dover: the part that lies within 400 metres (about a quarter mile) and within 800 metres (about half a mile) of a mapped camera, wherever that camera stands.

The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Dover to the nearest other one in Dover. Half of the gaps are shorter than 650 feet, and the middle half run from 200 feet to 0.3 miles. In Dover, 10 of 37 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 100% of the cameras here (37 of 37 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is southwest, with 9 cameras. A direction of exactly 0 is treated as not recorded, because that value is often left on a pin nobody set.

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

In Dover, 19 of 37 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 51% of the cameras here.

• Public agency16 cameras
• Private3 cameras
• Camera company0 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded18 cameras

The kinds are read from the operator names mappers typed. A name is counted as private only when it plainly belongs to a business, an association or another private owner; a name the rules cannot place is counted as other; and where no operator is recorded the camera is not assumed to be anybody’s. The method page sets out how a name is sorted into a kind.

The distance and area figures for Dover come from 6,244 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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
