How to change position and also remove red light cameras

First, I wanted to ask if there was a way to move the position of a red light camera. I had added a camera from my phone app when I passed by it, but on the other side of the road, I forgot to click “other side” so it’s on the wrong side on the road. (not a biggie but something that’s bothering me)

More importantly, how do I remove a red light camera (and keep it off) when someone added it and approved it? Here is the permalink:

I am going to pass by today to confirm, but I’m 99.999% certain this is not a traffic camera. Our town put up cameras that detect people in turning lanes and these are not red light cameras as many commuters keep mixing up. I can see how someone passing by would’ve been able to say “yea it’s a camera” but not know that it’s not a red light camera.

Don’t worry about “other direction” for cameras as you can move them within a certain radius and reorient them. Once approved, I think only an area manager can remove them from the editor. Drivers can remove them if enough people who drive by and tap “not there” when alerted.

Cameras, if they do exist, should be placed on the road they should activate for, not the physical location of the camera itself.

There is a really nice page on cameras in Waze in the Waze wiki, called Cameras.
