Until today there was only one public holidays calendar used in the Speed and Camera Alerts web app, and that was for Victoria, which is the state I live in and what I designed it for. However the Speed and Camera Alerts web app now covers all of mainland Australian and Tasmania. Recently I've extended the Speed Camera Locations site to also cover New Zealand. I've updated the Speed and Camera Alerts to now use public holidays for each area covered. First I have to say it isn't perfect. There's a lot of variations in public holidays, and there's even variations within areas. Because that meant too much time making changes to my program and I only have limited hours, I've focused on priorities to mean Speed and Camera Alerts covers the largest areas correctly, so it does mean there will some false notifications in some areas on some public holidays. As an example for Victoria, I've used the Melbourne Cup Day, but some regional councils may swap to another day for a local Cup Day or another significant event. - Kelvin |
