hi guys

im just wondering, has anyone been done at a school zone camera out of school hours?

because i was travelling towards parramatta on Woodville Rd Cnr of Kenelda St & Osgood St, in Guilford ...

the cameras are new with Orange painted posts. Its for the school of Granville South Public school.

i was trying to catch the lights, it didnt occur to me that there was a camera till i passed it.

i didnt recall it flashing, but im starting to think that person who gets the flash, wont see it because your travelling the other way....oncomming traffic ive always witnessed people getting flashed.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/speed...schoolzone.html

thats the link, and it claims that speed cameras for schools also act as a speed camera.

so can anyone shed some light on this?.....

as in..have you been flashed afterhours in school camera? do you see the flash from behind at night???

AFAIK they haven't finished it yet. I go past it everyday for work and l last went past friday and it wasn't finished.

hi there

actually i looked it up on that list.......i got the address wrong......the one mentioned is further up near parramatta in guilford...

which is near a KFC i recall.....but this isnt the one..this one i think is working, it doesnt have organe painted posts.

because on the list of cameras @ RTA.NSW.GOV.Au... the only one on woodville rd is the one mentioned above..

i figured it may have been too new to be put on there...

the one i was talking about is next to a CALTEX petrol station between Fairfield St & Orchardleigh St...

near the new huge Bing Lee & Western toyota dealer...is that the one your thinking of too?

and how do you know its not functional yet?

There are no signs for it yet either...

I'm pretty sure it will have a flash cause the second pole (one behind the camera) still has wires sticking out of it...

heya

yeah i drove past today to have abit of a sticky beak...

yes it looks like its still under construction...

the smaller post doesnt have the device attatched..

and the signs are not up yet...just the posts are set up....

cheers guys, i feel better about it now

Answer the question about those cameras after school hrs.

Ive been caught once in a school zone at 1am. assuming it was a 60zone, i was doing 60km, but i ended up finding out it was a 50km zone.

But for me, i saw the flash, was more of an orange flash though. cost me a fair bit and a few points.

Im going to skip the dribble and lay it out.

I rang the RTA in a similar circumstance. If not on the website the camera is not in effect. It cannot issue a fine (in theory, and according to RTA)

No flash = Infrared flash I.E invis to naked eye.

Just post a letter and copy of the fine to the address on the back to alert them to the fact, you may also want to let them know signs had not been on display before the camera. Legally required 3 in total.

Now just a tip if you are chasing a light, you most likely are still speeding through the zone at its normal speed limit.

Hope it helps :down:

yeah i knwo what you mean, but this camera is right next to a set of traffic lights, makes it a pain in the ass

hey if that happens

its not aye?

not in a school zone...

but after hours of school, its generally 60km/h

so if you were going 80 you wouldve got done for 15 and over

but in school hours...80 = Loss of liscence!

As Fatz said, the signs are a courtesy and not a legal requirement. They are not a gazetted traffic sign in the road rules 2008 (However the speed limit symbol on the sign is). There is no excemption from a speeding offence in the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 if signs arent present.

The only sign legally required to enforce a speed limit apart from the default 50km/h limit (Which requires no signage at all) Is a speed restriction or derestriction sign.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
