About this map
SA Traffic Cameras maps the traffic camera locations that SAPOL publishes. SAPOL lists selected locations and says they may change without notice, so cameras can be anywhere. Drive to the limit and the conditions everywhere.
Road safety facts
- Driving at 60 instead of 50 km/h saves at most 2 minutes over 10 km: the trip takes 12 minutes at 50 km/h and 10 minutes at 60 km/h, and that's only if you never stop at a light or slow for traffic.
- Driving at 65 instead of 60 km/h saves about 46 seconds over 10 km. SA Government
- Driving at 110 instead of 100 km/h saves about 33 seconds over 10 km: 5 minutes 27 seconds instead of 6 minutes.
- On a 60 km/h road, the risk of a casualty crash roughly doubles with every 5 km/h increase in speed. SA Government
- Driving 10 km/h over the limit in a 60 km/h zone makes you about 4 times as likely to be in a casualty crash. That's a similar risk to driving with a blood alcohol level of around 0.10, twice the legal limit. SA Government
- Cutting average travel speeds by 5 km/h would cut rural casualty crashes by about 30% and urban crashes by about 25%. SA Government
- Safe speeds for the human body are under 30 km/h where people walk and cycle, under 50 km/h where side-on crashes can happen, and under 70 km/h where head-on crashes can happen. SA Government
- In heavy traffic, the next lane often only looks faster, because you pass cars quickly but are passed slowly. Researchers found that staying in your lane is safer and usually just as quick. Study in Nature, 1999 (ScienceDaily)

About the data
Metro mobile cameras come from SAPOL's metropolitan list, which is published day by day about a week ahead; pick the day at the top. Country mobile cameras come from SAPOL's country list, which covers a fortnight without saying which day. SAPOL gives only the road and suburb, so each mobile camera is drawn on that road within the suburb. Zoom in, or tap the marker, to see the stretch where the camera can be.
Fixed cameras come from SAPOL's fixed camera table, with decommissioned sites left out: red light and speed cameras at intersections, pedestrian and level crossing cameras, mid-block and point-to-point cameras, and mobile phone detection cameras. Most sit exactly on the camera mapped in OpenStreetMap under the same SAPOL camera number. The few not mapped there yet are placed on the named junction or road, and their card says so. Point-to-point zones are drawn as dashed lines.
Regions are this app's own groupings by distance and direction from the Adelaide CBD, not SAPOL's.
Updates: SAPOL publishes new lists each week, and they're copied into the app weekly from SAPOL's public page. The app checks for new lists each time it opens and when you come back to it after half an hour. The status line at the top says when the lists were last updated, and turns amber when a refresh is due. The lists shown were taken .
Install as a phone app (published version): on iPhone, open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, open it in Chrome, tap ⋮, then Install app. It then opens full screen and works without signal using the last lists it saved.

Terms of use
- SA Traffic Cameras is a free, independent app made by Wayfinch. It is not made, endorsed or checked by South Australia Police (SAPOL) or the Government of South Australia.
- It shows camera locations that SAPOL publishes, for information only. SAPOL says locations may change without notice. A mobile camera may not operate at every listed location, may be anywhere along a listed road, and cameras may operate at places that aren't listed. The map can be out of date or wrong.
- It is not a substitute for obeying the road rules. Always drive to the posted speed limit and the conditions.
- Don't use the app while driving. Set it up before you leave or have a passenger use it; the road rules restrict how drivers may use a phone.
- The app is provided "as is", without warranties. To the extent the law allows, Wayfinch isn't liable for any loss, penalty or damage from using or relying on it. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
- These terms may change; the date above shows the current version. They are governed by the laws of South Australia.
Privacy
- No account, no advertising, no analytics or tracking, and the app sets no cookies.
- Your location is used only when you tap Near me, to measure distances on your device. It isn't sent to Wayfinch or stored, and your browser asks your permission first.
- Stored on your device (browser storage): your filter and map choices, the latest camera lists and road positions, so the app works without signal. Clear them by clearing this site's data in your browser, or by removing the app.
- Services your device contacts: Esri, for map images of the area you view; cdnjs (Cloudflare), for the Leaflet map library; and Google Fonts, for the typefaces. The published version also contacts its host, Microsoft Azure, which keeps standard access logs such as IP address and time, and OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service to locate roads it hasn't seen before (only road and suburb names are sent). Each service handles data under its own privacy policy.
- The camera lists are copied from SAPOL's public page by Wayfinch, not from your device.
- If you email us, your email is used only to reply to you and isn't shared. Privacy questions: privacy@wayfinch.au
