Jurisdiction · by recorded street address

The 4 cameras counted on this page are every reader mapped within about 20 kilometres of Woodlawn, so the count crosses municipal lines. By the street address recorded for each one, 0 of them sit inside Woodlawn itself.

The rest sit in New York (4).

2 of them name an operator in the record: NYC Department of Transportation (2). The operator is who runs the camera, which is not always the local government.
