Half of the gaps are shorter than 250 feet, and the middle half run from 100 feet to 700 feet. In Johnson City, 99 of 225 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 (197 of 225 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, with 33 cameras. Because 10 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 207 directions from 197 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 15 cameras here.

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