andz Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 yo guys just a quick question some of the intersections have Redlight and Speed cameras so if u run a red light & speeding...u get pinged for the red light PLUS coping the speeding fine but what if you just speed through a greenlight? will you get pinged for speeding? or will it only ping you if u run the red light and speeding at the same time coz i got flashed (at night) speeding through a greenlight...

SAM916 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I wasn't aware that red light camera's could book you for speed. My understanding was that they are specifically calibrated for detecting red light runners, and speed camera's specifically for speed. With all the legalities and controversy over camera's not being correctly set up or working properly etc. I don't know if they would risk getting one camera to do both. It may also be different from state to state. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160380-red-light-cameras/#findComment-2978009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
heslo Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I believe that yes they do get both speed and red light, if you go through speeding on a green light, I would say it would book you for speeding. Atleast, that's how I approach all red light cameras, not worth taking the chance to test out the theory Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160380-red-light-cameras/#findComment-2978144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkblade Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 My first & only speeding fine was from one of these red light+ speed cameras & yes it was through a green light.

So prob expect one in the mail in the coming weeks andz69 FYI: Fixed speed cameras are usually set at 11-12kms p/h above the speed limit i got flashed when i first bought the car...last Xmas...has been 3 months... so i guess it doesnt register if its green?

CleanGTS-t Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Yeah I've always got the impression that they can do ya for Red Light and Speeding (Speeding no matter what colour the light is at the time). Tis why I always keep the speed down through those intersections. Good luck mate!

Murry33 Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) I saw someone speeding past me into one of those intersection cameras, it was green, yes the camera went off. or you could shoot a hole through the camera lens, like done in the past.

Fishpaste~ Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) by law they have to tell you what they are, so if the big white sign with blue writing says: "Red Light Camera" it's only a red light camera; if it says "Red Light & Speed Camera" then its a speed camera 24/7, and a red light camera when appropriate. If you go back past the intersection and see what it says, then your going to know what you can get busted for. =) safe travels =P Edited March 14, 2007 by Fishpaste~ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160380-red-light-cameras/#findComment-2979311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R33LIN Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) been,there done that........and get ready for the fine.... the trafic light camera ones always come LATE! agreed! i have a good mate who works in the force, he tells me that the traffic light camera fines/offences are unfortunately always taking their sweet time....before they arrive in the mail box another interesting point to mention is that the same mate reckons that these red light & speeding cameras have a tendancy to malfunction if they experience excessive heat. i think he mentioned they tend to fail after 38 degree or higher temps!.... anyone else heard this? its just interesting to ponder the fact that each of these red light cameras cost alot of money.... (upto $250,000 each i think it is?) and to think...with all that money going into them...you would expect them to be weatherproof. just my two cents! in saying this though, i still hope you dont get fined there andz69...goodluck mate!
