One thing I miss when using the Speed Camera Locations site is the ability to quickly find a speed camera or red light camera. Yes you can move around the map, but to me that feels a bit cumbersome. If you don't know the area it can be hard to find the location on a map.
Whenever I read posts on the internet with people having a problem with a speed camera or red light camera, I like to check out the location out and see if the same problem may affect others. I've learnt quite a few things this way I wouldn't have otherwise known. The cameras are often in areas or other states and not in area I'd normally know. An ability to quickly find the location based on the street or suburb would make things much easier.
For that reason I've now added to each of the pages for VIC, NSW and SA, the ability to locate a camera. You can find the locate option underneath the zoom buttons located below the map.
When you click on the locate link you'll go to the Locate page. On the page you'll be able to enter the location or part of the location. For example you could enter the suburb, street, or part of the suburb or street name. You'll then be presented with a list of cameras which contain the text you entered. From the list of cameras you can now click on the link for the camera and go to the detail page for the camera. On the detail page you can then explore the area where the camera is located using Google Maps, Google Maps aerial view, Google Maps Street View, and if available, watch a dash cam video showing the camera and nearby area.
It should be noted the locate feature is only for the current state you are viewing on the site. The design of Speed Camera Locations is each state is kept separate so the locate feature is also kept separate for each state.
I hope this additional facility makes it easier to use the Speed Camera Locations site.
