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/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/rows. Counts and sums: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/aggregate. - Rows: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/rows?limit=5 - Aggregate: https://publicdata.au/api/v1/datasets/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/aggregate?group=suburb&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/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/latest/data.csv. It redirects to the newest dated version, which is https://publicdata.au/d/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/v/2026-04-17/data.csv today. The same path serves Excel, JSON, Parquet, SQLite, DuckDB, NDJSON, Arrow. A dated URL never changes, so use it when the file must stay the same. ### Can I open Approved mobile road safety camera locations in Excel? Yes. https://publicdata.au/d/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/v/2026-04-17/data.xlsx is a workbook with the 2,252 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/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations/v/2026-04-17/data.csv.gz is the CSV at about a tenth of the size. ### How often is Approved mobile road safety camera locations updated? Cameras Save Lives releases it monthly. This site checks the portal every week and adds a dated version when the file changes. ### Can I use Approved mobile road safety 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 Approved mobile road safety camera locations? No. The publisher is Cameras Save Lives, and its page is https://discover.data.vic.gov.au/dataset/road-safety-camera-network-mobile-camera-locations. This site republishes the publisher's file without changing its content. The original sits beside every version as source.xlsx with its SHA-256, so the two can be compared. ### What does each row hold? One road on which a mobile road safety camera is approved to operate, with the suburb, the publisher's reason code for the location and the month the location was last audited. Mobile cameras run from unmarked vehicles, and from 2026 trailers, at more than 2,000 approved locations. ### Does a row mean a camera is there today? No. The list is of approved locations. A camera may be set up at any of them at any time, and the publisher does not say when. ### What are the reason codes? Each location carries one or more of the letters A to D, which the publisher uses for the grounds the location was approved on. The file does not give a key to the letters, so they are kept as published. ### How often is it updated? The publisher releases the list about monthly, and each release becomes a version here. ## 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.xlsx`. ## Improve this dataset This page is built from [register/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations.yaml](https://github.com/National-Digital/publicdata.au/blob/main/register/vic-mobile-road-safety-camera-locations.yaml) on GitHub, and a fix to it is welcome as a pull request. https://publicdata.au/contribute/ explains how.
