What this means if you drive here
A plate reader is not a proximity sensor. It is a fixed camera aimed one way down one road, so whether it recorded your vehicle depends on the direction you were travelling relative to the lens, not simply how close you got. In Arlington, 99% of documented readers have a recorded bearing, which is what makes that question answerable.
Readers cluster where every vehicle must pass: city entrances and exits, approaches to major junctions, and store parking lot lanes. If you leave your neighborhood the same way each morning, you are almost certainly passing the same cameras every day.
