I still do not understand if you just want to "replace" a category or you want to completely change the EU + sequence.....

To replace even one category you need to edit the speedcam.zip file to see its icon in the menus and on the map. Here I explained a little how to do:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

But if you do not know how to use Illustrator it's impossible to do it.

After the simplest thing is to "trick" both the Dictionary.voice file and the Dictionary.lang.

After these two posts:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

I thought that device deserved a category all its own but that only one icon did not represent it enough. I had joked about talking about a gif, but there is something similar that could work:

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

It explains how the thing works, but not how to create it with certain functions...... I had thought about modifying an old ari_anim_policeman.zip file by Arimi, but here it is not just a question of replacing some icons. It must appear only for that category and not even for exceeding the speed limit, and create appropriate commands via .ui, .css, and .lua files........This is really complicated........

But the road is that and I hope someone can follow it.

You can change categories if there is a constant source of updates in the form of speedcam.txt. If we manage to support the category with updates from the speedcam database. The level of interest of other persons in updating information is also of no small importance. And so you decided to create a new category, the main question is which category can be removed from the existing ones. The main thing to remember about default speedcams is 1-15, it is better not to touch them at all, otherwise you will not be able to use other radar bases.

Exceptions to this table may be 10, 13, 14

If you change a picture, then you need to design it in the general style, an example of how this should not be done, here are icons from different sources with different initial sizes:
