Safety Cameras Doubling As Speed Cameras

[GTR-N1]

Over 40 Red Light Cams have already been switched to Double-Task as Speed Cams as well as Red Light Cams.

Over the next couple of years, 100s of the old wet film type are in the process of Double-Tasking ^^^

You can check the RTA Website for locations of those that have been changed over in preparation for "Operation Safe Arrival" that started today. The Fixed-wing aircraft for speed-spotting along the Hume at Marulan has also just begun operating.

rta nsw > myRTA > Centre For Road Safety > Speeding > Safety Cameras

So in essence, some of those 'old' cameras that only used to check if you went thru a red light too late can also check your speed & then too late; you see a flash. Be warned!

DO NOT GUN IT THRU THE ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen the camera on Pennant Hills/Beecroft Rd flash randomly a couple of times now, I guessed that it might do speed now.

I'm pretty sure this system is already in place in the ACT

yeah ive noticed that one aswell going off randomly, i have noticed they have upgraded to a new camera style and it keeps on going off, but i didnt see any signs and im pretty sure (unless the laws have changed) speed cameras need to have 3 signs for fixed, one sign for a set up speed camera and no signs for moving speed cameras like radar ect...

But they tend to keep tinkering with it everytime i'm there so i'm not sure if its operational there anyway.... YET

There's a "Safety Camera Ahead" sign on Showground Road, approaching the one at the top of Victoria Av.

[R34 Sedan]

Yeah "Safety Camera Ahead" can mean red light, or both red light, and speed.

you clearly havent read the law

they dont need any signs

the red light + speed cameras only have one sign " safety camera ahead"

...which annoys me even more! If they stuck to around the speed limit the whole time (where-ever possible), instead of slowing down and speeding up constantly, they'd probably save fuel and reduce their travel times.

I guess we're gonna have to stop at red lights and do the speed limit then....

unless someone can come up with a better alternative..........

i'll get the popcorn.....

So the actual penalites commence from 18th Dec 09? I couldnt see that on the website.
