Full record

Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 22 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Flagstaff, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 20 of them sit inside Flagstaff itself.

The rest sit in Doney Park (1).

3 of them name an operator in the record: NAU PD (3). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

1 camera has no municipality recorded yet.

Source: community-mapped camera data (OpenStreetMap, ODbL), with addresses resolved by Nominatim.

What’s watching Flagstaff

These aren’t red-light cameras. Automated license plate readers like Flock Safety’s photograph every plate that passes, log the time and place, and store it in a searchable database that’s often shared far beyond Flagstaff — here’s where that data goes. Counts cover cameras reported closest to Flagstaff (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
