Just had a message come through OSM (think it may have been sent to multiple people?) concerning mapping speed cameras.
I've added a number of them from Notes, & have always added them as a Speed Camera node on the actual camera location usually visible on the footpath. The message was to tell me that "every single speed camera in South Australia is already on the map" & can be viewed on OT, that "they are placed on the roads that they target exactly like traffic lights are placed. This is a standard that is agreed upon in the Australian OSM community", & that they've "deleted all the duplicate ones that you have added". One of the cameras that I'd added was here https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?node=8654391473#map=20/-34.96839/138.55505 & I'd mapped it where the camera box is visible on the footpath, but they have it on the actual road marking near the traffic lights. Which is right? I've just had a look at the guidelines & can't see any agreed standard for mapping them - do we have one? Thanks Graeme
