The gap is the straight-line distance from each mapped camera in Medford to the nearest other one in Medford. Half of the gaps are shorter than 500 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 0.4 miles. In Medford, 14 of 45 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 87% of the cameras here (39 of 45 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is north, with 10 cameras. Because 7 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 46 directions from 39 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 1 camera here.

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

In Medford, 15 of 45 mapped cameras carry an operator tag, which is 33% of the cameras here.

• Public agency0 cameras
• Private0 cameras
• Camera company15 cameras
• Other0 cameras
• Not recorded30 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.

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 The counts are floors: a camera nobody has added to OpenStreetMap is not on this page, and a pin can be out of date.
