New Fixed Speed Camers - M1  

257OCK

pretty sure there still in testing, as the roll of cables on the right hand side of my pic have only just been connected..

*Tricky*

EDIT: Misread, Yes your right, they do need to put it out, but it doesnt necessarily need to be completely visible. only states that the requirement is that it needs to be placed, thats it.

*Tricky*

Double post

yeah went past today, think its a fixed, theres no other ones on the hiway around the area, id say its in testing, no lines but yeah, bloody shit, so close to home lol, lucky i take the back way to work every day lol

They do, but infer-red is out of the light spectrum that your eyes can see, so they flash and your eyes dont see in infer-red and it just looks normal, but on the photo its clear enough to read number plates

b.t.h

F*ck.

is it the bridge with the petrol station on the other side? google map pic please?

jakefake

is their any between tarragindi and this new one?

HI_PSI_VL

I am gonna go out on a plank and say they arent operational..... I will ask a mate who works for State Traffic Task Force.

But also they would have had something on the news/in the paper to say they are operational.

Just wondering how these would work? Say I was to sit on exactly 9km/h over the limit would I be receiving a letter in the mail?

revenue raising at its finest, they will be every where soon.
next thing you know every suburb will have cctv.

VP Pursuit

Oh well...

If we don't speed we wont get a ticket...won't be long I'm sure before I get one but that's the risk I take.

As for no lines on the road, I wouldn't pay attention to the lines anyway..I have no idea why QLD had to have lines on the road for their speed cameras since NSW doesn't....old technology maybe

I think I might invest in a Radar detector. Or just not speed. One of the two.

Auto Glamour Detailing

The lines on the road for these types of camera are for measuring the speed. These camera actually take 2 Photos and the distance the car has travelled between the lines is the way to determine the speed.

On the subject there was an article on 9 news last night that basically said the Point to Point set up on the Bruce wont be operational for some time as the system does not work. They cant get it to work either with the volume of traffic on the road. Thats some Win for the motorists I think.

for those wanting exactly location...

the cameras are on the bridge straight after the Logan Motorway Exit....

McGnarly

Seen these yesterday, I dont think they are operational yet, wonder how long until a bogan cuts them down

LUXPSI

Hopefully soon..

Just updating on this one, i went past this camera last night after coming back from mt mee and they were working on this camera, cant say what they were exactly doing tho..

450ARN

dont think they are even testing the one at hyperdome, theres a bunch of wires hanging down, seen it today was like wtf

kingofspeed

they are prolly "point to point" cams - doing testing?

stevocharged

It's not point-to-point tho.

sikcrx

I know for a fact that these ones are not operational for some time yet they are however testing them to see why they r having so much trouble with the other ones, you should be right for another 2-3 months + for these cameras

gok51

The cameras are on the bridge that has an EXIT 30 SIGN attached to it.

tylerjames

They are speed cameras, I got a media release at work about them, under embargo till tomorrow I think.
Anyone driving through there from tomorrow onwards, be careful.

s2kgc

Don't know if they are speed cameras or not - but it doesn't matter because they are not connected yet (as at 24 Jan 2011). The wires on the right hand side are not connected to the cameras themselves as you can see (they are still rolled up.

I had to check coz i got paranoid lol

jon89

I havent recived anything in the mail yet :-p

iBrettowski

to my knowlodge as what the tv said, they are not being turned on for 6 months or something like that for testing, dont quote me on it tho..

AmmoJammo

these are most likely loop speed detectors made by Redflex, they have the ability to monitor up to 6 lanes on traffic.

aren't you lucky!

zorak

Heh got them everywhere down here in Vic, best ones are between the girders on bridges or behind overhead street signs on the freeways.

Personally I prefer the fixed ones everywhere other than sneak kents parking unmarked vans all over the place

AVENGE

I fkn forgot about these today when i went past them on the bike. Pretty sure I may have been over the limit. Will let you guys know if anything comes in the mail.

Being on the bike my eyes are always on the lookout for potholes etc. Saw the cut marks in the road, thought to myself 'WTF is that' then remembered the cameras above.

257OCK

yea still dont think these are operational tho.. but the last couple of weeks they have been working on them

tiny85

Are there any fixed speed cameras on the gateway bridge?

Specifically the old gateway bridge heading northbound as you enter the bridge. I was sure those toll cameras that hang over the road are not speed cameras as well.... at least I hope not.

Can anyone confirm/deny?

Z4ND491

So the camera's set up northbound from Mobil at the Johnston Rd overpass to just before the Caloundra exit are point to point? Because I was doing 120 easily going southbound back in January... never got anything... so just curious.

Might have something to do with the fact that GPS says im going 110 while the speedo says 120.

iBrettowski

wait 2-3 week and find out...

Pure Evil

The camera you refer to is point to point, it takes the time you travel the distance and then works out your average speed

PyrotiX

Deny.
