Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 18 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Tribeca, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Tribeca itself.
The rest sit in New York (18).
16 of them name an operator in the record: Metropolitan Transportation Authority (8), New York City Police Department (3), New York Police Department (3), NYC Department of Transportation (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

What’s watching Tribeca
These aren’t red-light cameras.

Counts cover cameras reported closest to Tribeca (within ~20 km), so nearby towns share the same corridors. Spot one that’s missing? Report it on DeFlock.
