Speed Camera Locations - Plot Drive

The Speed and Camera Alerts web app provides the ability to share a map of your drive. If you send the map of you drive to yourself, you can open the file, copy and paste the data into the input field, press Plot and the drive will be mapped. The map is colour coded for the speed limit. Each dot is a GPS point and if you click on the dot you can access further information and links to the way in Openstreetmap, or the location in Google maps or Apple maps. You can use the information and the site to improve data in Openstreetmap which in turn, improves the alerts whilst driving.

Speed Limit Legend:

  • -1 (Unknown/Ambiguous/Suspect)
  • 40 km/h
  • 50 km/h
  • 60 km/h
  • 70 km/h
  • 80 km/h
  • 100 km/h

When you click on a GPS point you'll see the following information.

  • Speed
  • Speed Limit
  • Openstreetmap Way
  • Latitude and Longitude
  • Timestamp

You will also see links to the Way in Openstreetmap, and the location on Google Maps and Apple Maps.

The information and links is to assist you in updating any speed limits that are incorrect in Openstreetmap. You can use street view in Google Maps or Apple Maps to confirm the location. You should not, repeat, should not, use Google Maps or Apple Maps to scrape speed limit information. Only update what you know. I for example use my dashcam footage to verify speed limit information and location. Google Maps and/or Apple Maps is only for confirmation.

Why you shouldn't scrape other sites. The main reason is it is wrong to do so and doing so will pollute Openstreetmap with data that belongs to other companies. But there's also a practical reason. If you update just the roads that you drive on, you know those roads. You know when the speed limit changes. If a change affects you, you update it and that update is effective immediately for your drives and the drives of everyone else using those roads. If you change the speed limit of roads you don't use, how will you know if they change. If everyone updates the roads they drive on, we have the best and most up-to-date resource in Openstreetmap.
