Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / General Car Topics (Australian group) / March 2008Speed camera signs in Brisbane
Further to a previous thread where it was stated that the speed cameras werent signed as good as NSW, well today I noticed that theres new signs at each of the speed camera sites saying "SPEED CAMERA AHEAD'' Also they are located within "Speed cameras operate in this area" zones. And today I also noticed that whiel stopped adj to the one on the story bridge that people STILL dont see the signs and slow down, I dunno if its just those that dont kno wthe area or those way to ignorant to see but thats a pretty busy camera site. Also I dont know if my judgement of speed is any good but I estimated that the camera was set at 75 and above as those that seemed to be doing 70 got through without a flash.

That's consistent with when NSW first introduced fixed cameras. The peons ignored the signs until they get the infringement notices, then made lots of noise, then slowed down where the signs told them to. :-) > Also I dont know if my judgement of speed is any good but I estimated that > the camera was set at 75 and above as those that seemed to be doing 70 got > through without a flash. What's the limit? 60? If so, that's probably not unrealistic for a start-up installation that is running out of film regularly pinging people for more than 15km/h over the limit. Once the traffic starts to do something close to the limit, the camera will probably be adjusted to somewhere between 10%+1 & 10%+4 (the latter being what the RTA stated a camera in the Newcastle area is set to). Of course, 60+10%+4 = 70...  SignatureAthol <http://cust.idl.com.au/athol> Linux Registered User # 254000 I'm a Libran Engineer.

They'd better... Else they'd have NO evidence if the same rules apply to them as to mere citizens. < I remember reading somewhere they are on a > broadband set up and they can have the fine in the mail before you get > out of your car. Hmm - soon.. But in the meantime of course there's a lot of opportunity for man in the middle attacks on their data - which of course you'd make them prove didn't happen. Works for Bush/Bair/Howard/Azar et.al. - works for me. SignatureToby > Do they still use film?

Fucken outstanding behaviour - their bloods worth bottling... it was then, I guess:-) SignatureToby >>>> Do they still use film?

True - imaging.. "A device suspected of being used in vandalizing a speed camera" To whit, a Pole and rope controlled lever assy adapted from pesticide spraying duties. The Gatsos installed here are new BIG BASTARD Gatsos unlike any others I've seen pictured on the Web. The idea of course is that those willing to provide necklaces of the South African variety can't get standard car tyres draped over the bastards. You'd need a crane to lift a tyre big enough to drape lovingly over their boof heads:-( And did I mention two of the execrable devices are near merge points? The M1 device has one of the speed grids marked on a merging lane as it narrows. Noice.. God help anyone who actually speeds up to prevent the QldSpeshulSnookerTheMerger shite driver behaviour. Hell, those mongrels are actually being ASSISTED By GovCo in their deviant and dangerous behaviours. Now that WILL look good in court one day - all we need is a Lawyer with more than half-a-brain. Wish us luck:-) SignatureToby > > Do they still use film?

Currently the RTA for example have live cams you can view on the web to see what the traffic is doing at selected locations. That and speed/'light cams get the vandal makeover, I'd be expecting them to go "no point - you are already caught out". |
