mdx will answer when he comes back from holiday

_{No, I'm interested in correct reporting for this. Currently I will be warned if there is a speed camera in the near. So if there is a camera in both directions I will be warned twice.}

I was asked to review "speed cameras from OSM" and it looks like the primary data is node with tag 'highway'='speed_camera' (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dspeed_camera). Unfortunately it is not clear in which direction is camera pointing. It is even not straightforward to get corresponding speed. In my test square (from Ukraine IHN), I've got 4 cameras and only in the last one I can tell direction and speed from way:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/252173572 ... on two ways with different maxspeed
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1709319550 ... no speed info (maybe town?)
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1709319552 ... the same
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/2212541559 ... speed camera on oneway road with maxspeed=70

p.s. the other discussion was here: http://forum.mapfactor.com/discussion/532/speedcams

If anybody is interested in speed cameras extracted from the whole planet (node with tag 'highway'='speed_camera') here is CSV file (gzip 180kB). These are only ID, X, Y (in miliseconds - digger should still accept that). There is no speed or heading direction.

@blubb - ok, thanks for info. I will have to wait for processed August 2013 planet.osm (now the "enfocement" tag was not filtered yet).
