Speed Cameras: How they work?

[ultim8DTM5]

Okay I am shitting myself slightly.

On Parramatta Rd, Auburn this afternoon I saw a speed camera flash. I was travelling Parramatta-bound, and the camera is facing city-bound on the opposite side of the road. The area is 60 but i was doing closer to 70, but was not accellerating.

I was travelling in the right lane, there was a Ute that was going city-bound. The RTA site says:

Fixed speed cameras can monitor one to four lanes in the same direction

Does this mean that the Ute was kodak'd and not myself? I am unsure about it and need to know if I should start saving.

Cheers,

Pete.

as discussed on ICQ, you'll be fine mate

bahahahah Pete nothing to worry.

The speed cameras only take one way which is from behind the car bahahaha

Barinas cant break the speed limit anyway even on 5th gear

Next time drift sideways and they can't get your plate.

the rta is updating the cameras to bi-directional

however they are only starting to be trialled

i dont know about sydney region but you should be alright casue they r getting phased in now but mainly at new sights

oooooh i never knew that they only worked in one direction... im giong to HAMMER past the hume hwy bass hill one now! :burnout:

[dishgirl]

just make sure you're going in the right direction eh.

how far down the road do speed cameras monitor?

[ed]

hahaha just after they upgrade to a bi-directional one??? :lol:

[Duncan]

check closely after you go past one, they just work with three sensors on the road about a metre apart. Once you're past em, go.

I make a point of heading off fast straight after cameras so Joe Public can see they do nothing to slow traffic down

[Guest ManNGolf]

i havent measured it yet but its roughly with a 15m range that the cameras work.

but make sure you see the sensors where refering to.

yeh i tend to speed up after having passed the sensors myself...........leaves the eager beaver on mah arse behind thinking "um ma his speeding"

[UR2EZ]

damn u manngolf....

you and FRYSKY owning my car...

uh huh i know it was you.... i have my sources

[Bonkers]

You mean to say they have some camera thing to check your speed!!!:eek: :eek:

New technology eh - when do they reckon they'll get this shit working?

Next thing you know big brother will want to introduce some sort of blood alcohol limit - hope that never happens.................

Some scccccaaaaaaarrrrrrryyyyy shit happening out there..
