[talk-au] Oz tagging of speed cameras

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

 Just had a message come through OSM (think it may have been sent to
multiple people?) concerning mapping speed cameras.

I've added a number of them from Notes, & have always added them as a Speed
Camera node on the actual camera location usually visible on the footpath.

The message was to tell me that "every single speed camera in South
Australia is already on the map" & can be viewed on OT, that "they are
placed on the roads that they target exactly like traffic lights are
placed. This is a standard that is agreed upon in the Australian OSM
community", & that they've "deleted all the duplicate ones that you have
added".

One of the cameras that I'd added was here
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?node=8654391473#map=20/-34.96839/138.55505
& I'd mapped it where the camera box is visible on the footpath, but they
have it on the actual road marking near the traffic lights. Which is right?
I've just had a look at the guidelines & can't see any agreed standard for
mapping them - do we have one?

Thanks

Graeme
