Hello my dear friends Local Guides!
In some main streets of my city there are many "fixed" speed cameras that haven't worked for many years.
Every day I see people braking suddenly and dangerously close to these police control systems.
Many brake in a dangerous way because they are deceived by the icon on the navigator or on
google maps that indicates the presence of these speed cameras.
But in reality these have not worked for years. In fact, a few days ago I asked myself:
is it possible to report fixed speed cameras on google maps? What happens if I find a non-functioning or non-existent speed camera reported on the maps? Can I delete it from the maps? Can I indicate which speed is allowed in that area?
I believe that solving this problem can be very useful for motorists and avoiding some dangerous accident.
Any suggestions?

Hi @Raphael-Mahumane thank you very much for the suggestion!
I just sent my feedback even though I noticed that there is no specific option for speed cameras. The reporting module only offers the "other" command to report this type of thing

Hi @Matt95Bassett there is an option to report errors on such kind of issues, but is only available when you are navigating on Google Maps, meaning that you can only give feedback about cameras when you are around the area where there are cameras and you can see them on Google Maps, please try to access this feature when you are around the cameras next time. See this question with answer on Google Maps Help forum How do i report a speed trap?.
