Hi All,
A new speed camera was being trialled today in East Perth at Infringements HQ - namely Plain Street.
The camera takes photo's from both the rear and front - no good slamming the brakes on as you see it from the front window as more than likely you have already been caught from the rear! Both units are separated by a cable approx. 50 m in length and the rear camera has it's own flash built it...
Beware, 1 unit is operational in a Nissan X-Trail already with possibly more to follow if this is successful... Unit is "cammo" green also...
May upload some pics later....

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
thanks for the heads up CC!. Its good to see that they are starting to use different types of cameras to catch people doing the wrong thing!. would this be the camera that i saw on albany highway that looks like a bin?
People call me an "Egotistic Jackass"... I prefer the term "Confident Donkey" --->Donks for short
Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
About time. Maybe they can book some of the idiotic bike riders that flout the law. Multinova is a great tax. Completely voluntary. But real police should be on the highways and country roads as deterents.

No, as it has two different "modules" - a rear and front module as opposed to just one module alone...donks wrote:would this be the camera that i saw on albany highway that looks like a bin?

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
not to mention some new locations! Saw a camera look down Clayton street right on the corner of Military road, catching all the people who have come off Roe Hwy travelling 100K's and can't do the 60k's...good location for it.

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
Well beware for sure, spotted these little beauties on Leach Highway. Apologies about the quality but will try and get a better image later in the week.
It has been confirmed that they are fixed speed cameras.
At the moment i have seen them at the following intersections:
Carrington and High St
Stock Rd and Leach Hwy
North Lakes Rd and Leach Highway.
They are all pointing towards west bound Traffic.
They look like they are pressure sensor units as the road has been worked on near them and the radar detector didnt go off.
Well we have been warned!!

Yes good point, you can see in the road where something else has been installed.Tyranus wrote:They may also be video camera's Danny and tracking the length of time it takes to go between 2 points.
All i know is they definitely are Speed Cameras.
Will make a few calls tomorrow and see what i can find out as it will be interesting. Might pull up next to it and take the ladder off the rood and have a look inside

They'll also get rear shots of cars and motorbikes with the direction they're facing.

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
I wish they'd install one in the 80km/h interchange on the freeway between Graham Farmer Freeway and Vincent street, I have to get across three lanes every morning to exit at Powis Street, I stick to the speed limit, but I reckon 80% of the vehicles would be doing 100 plus, makes it very hard when you're trying to do the right thing.

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
A mate was saying he's seen a camera parked up in that section a couple of times not sure if they were recent, probably start finding camera's in the tunnel and that section fairly soon though...I wish they'd put camera's out for those going toooooo slowly!Magnus wrote:I wish they'd install one in the 80km/h interchange on the freeway between Graham Farmer Freeway and Vincent street, I have to get across three lanes every morning to exit at Powis Street, I stick to the speed limit, but I reckon 80% of the vehicles would be doing 100 plus, makes it very hard when you're trying to do the right thing.

There are 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary and those who do not.
Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
Can anyone tell me what the vehicles were that I saw at the big roundabout as you enter Bunbury yesterday? They looked like these cameras but they were not fixed.
They were mounted on a tall mast on the back of a Toyota Landcruiser with "Main roads contractor" written all down the side. There was two of them, one as you turn left to head towards Busso and one as you turn right to head into the city along Koombana drive.
The only thing I can think of is that they are those cameras that take a snap of your numberplate and run it up to look for unregistered vehicles. Possibly trialling them to catch out the large volume of traffic heading down to schoolies week.
I didn't get any pictures, sorry. But they were main roads contractor vehicles, so I'm unsure what they were doing there.

Re: New Speed Camera - BEWARE!
I believe they are monitoring traffic flow during peak periods. (schoolies/toolies) I have seen this vehicle a bit lately in different spots between Busselton and Perth (usually at roundabouts)
