Red Light And Speed Camera Difference

[Stayer]

Wonder if there is a difference between the two, because I hear definition Red Light or Red Light / Speed Camera? I'm new to driving in Australia.

Turned right on Warrigal Rd from Battersford Rd at the intersection with a sign saying RED LIGHT CAMERA AHEAD, then speed up past the car which turned left.

The camera is pointing along the Warrigal Rd, so I wonder if it is activated by people running Red Light along Warrigal Rd only or can also be aimed at people who turn from Battersford Rd and speed.

Not sure about all states, but in Queensland I am fairly sure they are 2 separate units, red light cameras are just that, no speed camera. Fixed speed cameras tend to be on sections of road where people often speed, not generally on interesections.

Add to that the many mobile speed cameras around.

Red Light is is for running red lights (it takes a photo when you first run it than another to see how far over you have gone/proceeding to go).

Speed Cameras are for speeding.

I think it was last year that QLD rolled out integration of both Red Light and Speed Light Cameras at traffic lights. Basically you speed through, get done for speeding and done for running a red light.

I'd say most of the redlight cameras in Vic also detect speeding. They've been replacing the old ones for a while now...

'red light cameras' will not detect you speeding. however 'safety cameras' will detect BOTH speed and running the red
