Jurisdiction · by recorded street address
The 15 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of West Village, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside West Village itself.
The rest sit in New York (15).
10 of them name an operator in the record: NYC Department of Transportation (5), Metropolitan Transportation Authority (3), New York City Police Department (1), New York Police Department (1). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.

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