I have attached a photo of what they look like.
Will there be a way to get a new permanent camera locations set up in Waze and what is the process?
I have a bunch I would like to add already.
For those wondering the purpose of these cameras, the point into cars to see if the driver is using their phone.
Here is a notice from WA Gov.

Hey there, welcome to the Waze forum! I’ve moved your topic to the Western Australia subsection, as this is a local issue :slight_smile:

Waze has recently introduced support for new camera types. It might be necessary that the local leadership requests that these types of cameras are enabled before they can be added in the Waze Map Editor.

Hello,

These are not the cameras the government are talking about, these are ANPR cameras (licence plate readers). The mobile phone cameras will be on mobile trailers with a gantry that extends over the road, and also the trial cameras on the Kwinana Freeway northbound will be switched on to enforcement.

Once we can add the mobile phone functions we will, until then the fixed cameras will alert as speed cameras only. The go-live date is set for 26 January.

I noticed the new ANPR cameras are not being shown in Waze.
Do we need to report each of them?
For example, there are two on SR41 - Kalamunda Road (Opposite the golf course) that are not being shown in Waze.
I though these were going to be reported as speed cameras.

Hello,

These are not speed cameras. We do not map the ANPR cameras in Australia unless they are causing a high number of false Police reports, where they will be mapped without an alert, only a visual warning.

Thanks for your reply
