I know Philadelphia has a network of publicly accessible traffic cameras that were installed by the city. I assume other places have them too.

I thought those kind of networks were pretty common - here is Scotland's:

Those cameras are placed in such a way and have a low enough resolution that it is impossible to read the license plates from the public data.
