Dated versions never change. ## Query The query API returns only the rows you ask for, as JSON, NDJSON or CSV, from the same typed rows as the files. It needs no key. Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-traffic-camera-locations/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-traffic-camera-locations/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-traffic-camera-locations/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/act-traffic-camera-locations/aggregate?group=camera_type&metric=count Each filter is `field=operator.value` in the query string, and every filter must match. A number or date field compares as a number or date, and a text field compares as text. Values are case-sensitive except with `ilike`. Prefix `not.` to negate a filter, as `not.eq.value`. Operators: `eq.value`, `neq.value`, `gt.value`, `gte.value`, `lt.value`, `lte.value`, `like.*text*`, `ilike.*text*`, `in.(a,b,c)`, `is.null`. - `select`: Fields to return, comma-separated. Every field when absent. - `order`: `field.asc` or `field.desc`, comma-separated. The publisher's row order when absent. - `limit`: Rows per page, 1 to 10,000. 100 when absent. - `offset`: Rows to skip. The `next` URL in each answer sets it for you. - `group`: On `aggregate`, fields to group by, comma-separated. - `metric`: On `aggregate`, `count`, `sum.field`, `avg.field`, `min.field` or `max.field`, comma-separated. `count` when absent. - `format`: `json`, `ndjson` or `csv`. JSON carries the provenance header, and the others carry it in response headers. Without a version the API answers from the newest loaded version, and that answer changes when the publisher releases again. Put `versions//` before `rows` or `aggregate` for an answer that never changes. `/api/v1/datasets//versions` lists the loaded versions. The API allows 60 requests in 10 seconds from one address. Above that it answers 429 for 10 seconds with a `Retry-After` header, a `RateLimit-Policy` header and a JSON body that gives the limit. Every API answer carries the same `RateLimit-Policy`. A client should wait the `Retry-After` seconds, or read the files, which have no limit.

Open https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/v/2026-08-21/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, GeoJSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, GeoPackage, GeoParquet, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Traffic camera locations in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/v/2026-08-21/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 1,262 rows on a records sheet, the field list on a second sheet and the provenance on a third. The CSV also opens in Excel. https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/v/2026-08-21/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### What years does Traffic camera locations cover? The current version covers 2007 to 2022. Each release from Access Canberra becomes a new dated version here, and earlier versions stay online. ### How often is Traffic camera locations updated? Access Canberra releases it monthly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Traffic camera locations commercially? Yes. CC BY 4.0 allows commercial use, redistribution and derived works as long as the attribution is kept. The attribution string is in this page's side column and inside every file. ### Is this the official source for Traffic camera locations? No. The publisher is Access Canberra, City and Environment Directorate, and its page is https://www.data.act.gov.au/d/426s-vdu4. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.csv with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### How do I get only the rows for one camera type? Every version has one JSON file per value of camera_type, 5 files in the current version, listed with row counts at https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/v/2026-08-21/by/camera_type/index.json. For example https://publicdata.au/d/act-traffic-camera-locations/v/2026-08-21/by/camera_type/mobile-speed-camera.json holds the 1,229 rows where camera_type is MOBILE SPEED CAMERA. A GeoJSON file sits beside each one. ### What coordinate system does Traffic camera locations use? Longitude and latitude in decimal degrees as published. The publisher does not name the datum; GDA94 differs from GDA2020 and WGS84 by under 2 metres. The GeoJSON file uses the same coordinates, which is what GeoJSON expects. ### What is in each row? One traffic enforcement camera or mobile speed camera site, with its camera type, its location codes, its coordinates, a description of the place and the date it was decommissioned if it has been. ### Are decommissioned cameras included? Yes. The publisher keeps every location, including those no longer in use, and gives the date a camera was decommissioned. ### Does every location have coordinates? No. Some older mobile sites have no latitude or longitude, and three rows carry only the publisher's text of the coordinates with no camera type or code. They are kept as published, and one row that is blank in every column is left out. ### How do I link it to the fines? The camera location code matches the camera location in the ACT traffic and camera fines tables in this collection. The publisher says some cleaning may be needed for the codes to match. ## What this site did to the data Cells were typed, headers were renamed to snake_case and the encoding was made UTF-8. Rows were left alone. Nothing is derived. The publisher's file is beside every version as `source.csv`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/act-traffic-camera-locations.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/act-traffic-camera-locations.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
