Half of the gaps are shorter than 500 feet, and the middle half run from 150 feet to 0.2 miles. In Sugar Land, 67 of 192 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 97% of the cameras here (186 of 192 cameras).

The most common recorded direction is south, with 31 cameras. Because 4 cameras carry two directions and are counted once in each, the eight counts add up to 190 directions from 186 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 6 cameras here.

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