To be fair (when are they ever?), there's a 4 weeks grace period where warning letters will be issued if you get flashed. A PDF of all the new locations can be downloaded so heads up.

21 for metro Syd, the rest is elsewhere NSW.

Main ones to look for (guessing by the majority of drivers) :

Rocky Point Rd

Cumberland Hwy

Horsley Dr

GWH

Should have put this in NSW section but oh well, if you're visiting from interstate.

I'm waiting to see people getting rear ended because they slam on the brakes hard at the slight hint of amber even when they can prefectly go through without setting off the speed or red light reveune machines.

Or you just get people who slow down to 20 km/h under 500m before the intersection even when the light is still green...

On the plus side at least they are fixed & easily remembered, not like Cops or cameras hidden in bushes 100m in front of a speed limit change.

This plus eleventy billion.

On Monday I almost witnessed someone getting rear ended at the Henry Lawson/Milperra Rd intersection because of the light. The leading car could have easily coasted through doing 70 km/h, but of course the retard was doing 55 then slammed the brakes as soon as it switched from green.

At least we can see them. I go through speed cameras pretty much at the speed limit (my speedo is only a couple of units quicker with the current tyre size so pretty easy to do) without issue. I don't see why others can't. Of course this is Sydney, where any retard is allowed to drive.

Could not agree more. I forgot which country it was, but they had a count down timer next to the lights so motorists can expect when the lights are about to change. last 5 or so seconds is yellow then 0 turns red. and this was in a less developed country than we are.

I saw this setup in China and i think Thailand somewhere as well! Thought it was cool

That sounds really cool. Would really help I think.
