I know Philadelphia has a network of publicly accessible traffic cameras that were installed by the city. I assume other places have them too.

- xnyanta 4y agoQuebec has the same: https://quebec511.info https://quebec511.info
- arethuza 4y agoI thought those kind of networks were pretty common - here is Scotland's: https://trafficscotland.org/map/index.aspx?type=26 https://trafficscotland.org/map/index.aspx?type=26
- dagw 4y agoThose cameras are placed in such a way and have a low enough resolution that it is impossible to read the license plates from the public data.
- arethuza 4y agoFair point, you can almost read number plates on some of the cameras that are close to roads. Presumably the cameras are capturing data at a higher resolution than those public images?
- londons_explore 4y agoI'd bet with a bit of data processing on that video feed (subpixel aligning and stacking all the frames, using the prior knowledge that you know the numberplate isn't changing as the car drives down the road), you'd be able to read them.
- arethuza 4y agoYeah - I was squinting at some of them thinking that the appropriate tech could probably read them.
