Which way South Dakota cameras face
An ALPR reads plates only in the direction it points, so a camera facing away from your lane doesn't photograph your plate. 3 of the 186 documented cameras in South Dakota have a recorded bearing.
- SW — 1
- W — 1
- NW — 1
Bearings are rounded to the nearest of eight compass points. The 183 cameras without a recorded direction aren't counted here — that detail simply hasn't been tagged yet.
Camera vendors in South Dakota
- Flock Safety — 159 cameras
- Unknown vendor — 15 cameras
- Motorola/Vigilant — 12 cameras
Vendor comes from OpenStreetMap's optional manufacturer tag. Most cameras read as unknown vendor because nobody has recorded that detail, not because the hardware is unidentifiable.
Planning a route around South Dakota cameras
The interactive map includes a route planner: set a start and an end point and it returns both a direct route and one routed around documented cameras, so you can weigh the extra distance against the cameras avoided. It can only route around cameras that have been mapped, which in South Dakota means these 186.
