Be sure to know your cameras before accepting new camera reports. Currently only the Waze map editor can add cameras to the map. When adding a camera, be sure to review the camera placement recommendations.

Speed cameras

Speed enforcement cameras are legal in school zones and work zones under VA Code §46.2-882.1. They are marked by signs and tickets can only be issued for at least 10 over the limit.

Red light cameras

Red light cameras are legal, but the number of them is regulated by VA Code §15.2-968.1

Other camera types

These are cameras or signs that either provide driver feedback or are used for traffic control such as VDOT monitor cameras and emergency vehicle detectors. These devices CAN NOT issue tickets and should not be mapped.
