Alternately the term "below" could be replaced by a Wiki page or full URL link. | |||
Some states have additional regulations or specific localities that relate to speed and red light cameras. That information should be added here, or consider adding it to the [[Cameras/Legality/USA]] page instead. | Some states have additional regulations or specific localities that relate to speed and red light cameras.

This page serves as a common template to over 50 other pages. Do not make modifications to this page before reviewing the proposed changes in this Waze forum thread first. |
Not every camera-looking device at an intersection is a speed or red light camera. Generally speaking:
- a speed camera takes a photograph of a vehicle when it passes by the camera at too high a speed
- a red light camera takes a photograph of a vehicle that enters an intersection after the light is red. In some areas, it takes the photograph when a vehicle is not clear of the intersection some period after the light turns red.
Be sure to know your cameras before accepting new camera reports.
Currently only the Waze client app can add cameras to the map. When adding a camera from the app, be sure to review the camera placement recommendations.
Laws regarding speed and red light cameras vary between the states and territories, so be sure to understand the details of camera legality in CommonState.
Based on information researched at the time this page was created, Waze editors have not determined the legality of red light or speed cameras in CommonState.
No other camera types should be mapped in Waze.
