Each square is a quarter of a degree on a side, 17 miles from top to bottom, and is shaded by the number of mapped cameras inside it. A square is drawn for New Jersey when the nearest place with a mapped camera is in New Jersey, so the squares along the state line are approximate, and one that straddles the line counts the cameras on both sides.

Measured places without a page

At least 10 cameras are mapped in each of the 25 places below, enough for them to be measured the same way, but none has a page of its own. Pages are added in stages, starting where a mapped camera is typically closest. When a place gets a page of its own is set out with the list of states.

Each line gives the typical distance to the nearest mapped camera, the share of the area inside the boundary that lies within half a mile of one, and the mapped cameras inside it. The order is the same: shortest typical distance first.

Another 193 places in New Jersey have a mapped camera and are not listed here.

How these figures are worked out

Every camera here is a pin a volunteer added to OpenStreetMap, so each count is a floor. A place is its U.S. Census Bureau boundary, and a camera belongs to it when its pin falls inside. For each measured place, a grid of sample points is laid inside the boundary, and the typical distance is the median straight-line distance from those points to the nearest mapped camera of any make.
