Red Light Cameras in Delaware

Post by sjpadbury
There was an article today about how (not) wonderful red light cameras are in Delaware in the News Journal:
http://www.delawareonline.com/article/2 ... 15472000=1

Of particular note was links to the City of Wilmington and DelDot's pages that list exactly what intersections have cameras:
http://www.wilmingtonde.gov/government/redlightcameras
http://deldot.gov/information/red_light/
These might be useful for people to check against in the fight against camera report spam when you get one that looks like it might actually be legit. (as opposed to the ones I keep cleaning up in people's driveways or the middle of I-95... :roll: )

Something else to discuss, I'm not 100% sure on this, but I believe at least the DelDot ones only check a single direction though the intersection, which is usually noted by the "Red Light Photo Enforced" signs, and are the ones that you're driving under the overhead mounted cameras. So for Example
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.75 ... TTTTTTTTFT
This one only checks Northbound traffic.
It appears someone has come to the same conclusion, as the one at 896 and 40 I was originally going to use as my example has been cleaned up:

(Thanks!)

I have no idea about how the Wimington ones are setup or how inclusive their photography is, as my only experience with that city if I can help it is to go through on 95 as quickly as possible.

Does everyone else agree with my assessment of how the Deldot ones issue citations, and should I start listing out other ones that need updating to reflect the single direction with my knowledge of which one they are?

Deldot gives the complete list: http://www.deldot.gov/information/red_light/

The interesting thing is that it only lists 1 intersection on Naamans road (Shipley/Brandywine)
But its accompanying map at http://www.deldot.gov/traffic/map.ejs?tab=RLE also shows one a Naamans/202.

Managed to get out and run some errands outside my normal area yesterday, so here's some updates:
Churchmans Road
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.65 ... ras=602404
Westbound is the correct answer.

273 and Harmony Road:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.67 ... TTTTTTTFTT
Camera that should be there is the one coming off of Harmony Rd, but someone deleted all the cameras at this intersection.

I also notice that all the cameras that were on this intersection were deleted as well:
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.65 ... TTTTTTTTFT

Edit:
More driving done today for appointments, took the scenic route.
https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.65 ... TTTTTTTFTT
Limestone Rd checked in *both* directions.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.69 ... TTTTTTTTFT
Camera checks going Westbound.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.70 ... TTTTTTTTFT
*both* directions of Capitol Trail *and* coming from the south off of Red Mill Road.
Also, the cameras are all positioned awkwardly, not pointing at the intersection.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.62 ... TTTTTTTFTT
Newport Gap Pike in both directions is checked.

Here's a few for you, then:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.71 ... TTTTTTTTFT
Northbound is the direction checked.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.75 ... TTTTTTTTFT
Northbound is also the direction checked here.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.77 ... ras=657303
Elkton Rd heading SouthWest is the direction checked here.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?lon=-75.72 ... TTTTTTTTFT
Chestnut Hill Rd heading West is checked.

Others are outside my regular travel areas, or my memory is fuzzy, but I'll pay attention going forward. (Old Baltimore Pike and Salem Church isn't even on our map at this point, so if it shows up, don't just auto-delete it)

The following red light cameras inside Wilmington still need to be reported and approved. Waiting for someone to report them else I'll go report them at some point. All the others have been reported and approved. (ps, I ain't reporting the one on 30th Street on location. I'll drag a reported one from Luray 20 feet at a time if I have to before I go to that location...)

* S. Heald Street southbound at D Street edit: Approved: 25-Nov-14
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... ts=9250101

* Lincoln Street northbound at 9th Street: Approved 12-Dec-14
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... ts=9251066

* 30th Street westbound at Market Street - edit: Approved: 14-Nov-14
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=70818988

* 4th Street westbound at Scott Street - edit: Approved: 01-Nov-14
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... ts=9260826

* Rt. 13A southbound at Christiana Avenue - edit: Approved: 01-Nov-14
https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=71744183

p.s. Thanks to voludu2 for finding that website with the cameras listed and to MReiser4670 for bumping this topic. Very helpful. I have approved about 10 of them through this process so far, so this has been worthwhile.

OK I did some cleanup and approved about 5 cameras. I also noticed a few places that I know about that need them that don't even have an unapproved cam in place. Like here....

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... ts=9249807

So at some point unless someone marks them I'll need to drive around and report them.
