4.9.1 Camera types
There are four types of speed cameras:
4.9.1.1 Fixed cameras
Some cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring one or
both directions of the traffic. They measure your current speed. For these cameras
you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. XROAD will warn
you when you approach these cameras in the measured direction. If your speed
exceeds the speed limit near the camera, a special warning sound will be played.
These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.9.1.2 Mobile cameras
Some cameras are operated from vehicles. The database contains some typical

location, and the speed limit is not specified for them. The warning is similar to fixed
cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is announced.
These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
4.9.1.3 Built-in cameras
Some cameras are built in traffic lights. They work like fixed cameras, but they are
difficult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding is the same as for the fixed
cameras.
These cameras are displayed with the following symbol:
