The map database was started in 2001 to monitor and track the locations and fines associated with photo enforcement across the U.S. The crowdsourced database has grown over 15% per year and now has almost 26,000 locations across North America, Europe, and Australia since its inception over 20+ years ago. Photo enforcement laws vary significantly from state to state; some authorize enforcement statewide, whereas others permit it only in specified communities. The use of red light cameras, license plate readers, and speed cameras has grown significantly in communities trying to enforce traffic safety and also generate additional city revenue. There are also many safety hazards associated with the use of these cameras due to erratic driving behavior, sudden stops, and speeding up. Most of the photo-enforced intersections chosen by cities have proven to be dangerous in the past with accidents. It is our mission to track these dangerous driving locations and monitor photo enforcement laws and fines. It is our goal to get mapping and navigation companies like Google Maps, Waze, Here, MapBox, Telenav, Sygic, and TomTom to publish our locations and make drivers more aware of these potentially hazardous intersections while driving.
