What's "hard work" about getting them deleted, and how could it be improved?

All that is needed is for another helpful member to check out your deletions and submit them also.

Unfortunately, they are not in an area I normally travel, so I will not be able to help this time.

Sounds reasonable to me - perhaps this would result in more of the unknown speed, and deleted cameras being brought up-to-date.

One area which is starting to concern me is the mobile cameras. I have a suspion that there are too many duplicates, along with many locations which are no longer used.

I noticed on the last update that I downloaded, not sure on the latest one, that some mobile camera sites have been deleted (A31 hogsback). They were still using those sites lastweek. What is the criteria for mobiles to be removed? You can go for a month without seeing them there and then they are back every other day. Seems that the deletion is to early for mobile sites??

Andy_P2002 - Ah, I understand your problem now. I personally think things are improving in the speed of removing cameras, although I base this mainly on how quickly temporary roadwork speed cameras are removed.

As for mobile camera site, I don't even report these for deletion. As I've said before on these forums, years ago I reported some hardstandings that were put in by the local council for use by the speed camera vans - out of 3 I have only ever seen one in use (and that was only a few months ago), but that doesn't stop them existing and being used next month or next year.

Could it be that the police use the same info to look into which mobile units are deleted and then replace the mobile units there. or if their usual spots are listed here not use them?
Just a thought, they must use these files and info for their own means, they would stupid not to.

I believe some Police forces actually use this database to help prevent speeding "incidents", but I think you are looking for a conspiracy theory that isn't there.

So we're back to the question.... why can't there be a section of the database or the forum where people can go to specifically check these submissions and get them verified quicker...please?

I can't see how it would compromise the verification or free life membership processes; but if it would, tell us and I'll stop banging on about it!

I too have submitted cameras for deletion, to find that they are still in the next release (haven't checked current database). Cameras I submitted for deletion were set up in roadworks on the M2 to monitor the temporarily imposed 50 mph limit. Roadworks were completed some time ago, and speed now back at NSL, so there is no reason for the cameras to remain on the database.

ever since we have moved over to this verification of sites i have seen a dramatic decrease in the relability of camera ,can't we go back to how it used to be or at lest just only confirm moved additions or deleted cameras , i am often going passed cameras that are not there ,most times i manage to catch them but a lot of the time i'm passed them before i can get the location

thanks
