Based on information researched at the time this page was created, neither red light cameras nor speed cameras are legal in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Vermont. Please reach out to regional leadership if you believe they have been deployed and need to be mapped in Waze. Other types of cameras which may be legal, such as traffic monitoring cameras, are not used for ticketing purposes and are not mapped in Waze.
