hurro,

my bother was saying something about how the cameras on the ring rd don't snap you for going over the speed limit but they calculate something between between 2 or so cameras that you drive past then they work out whether you were speeding? :) :)

does anyone know what i'm talking about or where i can get some info on this?

is this old news? lol

thanks

The way I herd that it works, is that both cameras record your vehicle. Software matches the vehicles up (REGO) and calculates the time it took to for you to travel from A to B and works out your speed. There will also be the normal Fixed speed cameras and road patrols.

I think it's only the ones on the Hume HWY bypass that snap you over distance.

I'd imagine it would be too hard to do the same on the Ring Road, with the variable speed limit.

Off topic. But do you work on prospect st in box hill. I thought I saw your car there today.

R-SPEC: Yeah, my missus lives just off Lygon St, so it may have been a possibility it was my car.

Ray: The cameras that detect your speed point-to-point are on the Hume HWY.

The Ring Road cameras are:

Greensborough Bound:

Boundary Road - Behind the Signs

Western HWY - Behind the Signs and on the Exit aswell

Keilor Park Dve - Behind the overpass

Pascoe Vale Rd - Just before you get into the tunnel

Altona Bound:

Widford Rd Bridge - Behind the overpass

Calder Park Overpass - Hidden up high between the two bridges

Western HWY - Just before the exit, hidden behind signs

Boundary Road - Behind the Signs

^^ No, having to have to do 20Ks or less on a freeway just coz you felt like speeding for a sec beforehand

R-SPEC: Yeah, my missus lives just off Lygon St, so it may have been a possibility it was my car.

thought so.

I played a part in the setting up of these the new western ring road speed cameras. I told my boss when he gave me the job if I had a religion this would be against it. They are the old fasion if you speed you get your photo taken type. There is even a second camera linked to the system that takes a pic of the variable speed sign at the same time it snaps the speeding vehicle.

The Westy ring road has these cameras, saw them yesterday, also the temp signs saying 'Cameras are on, speed cameras reduce accidents' or something like that. Mind you i nearly side swiped a falcon wagon full of newborn babies reading it!

I had a thought ....... and Yes it hurt...... If you abide by the speed limit...... mabe ..just mabe.. you won't have to worry about getting booked?

That said .... i spend so much time looking at my speedo these days, that i rarely have a chance to see where i am driving.. so look out for all these responsible drivers doing the speed limit while running you into a concrete pylon.

are u serious that there are speed cameras that measure the time it took between the two and book you on that!! Where exactly for a fact are these cameras.

There is nothing new about this style of camera, these have been operating on the M1 in the UK for several years around the midlands area. They run over 3 sets and the idea has most likely been deployed in other areas by now as I remember when they were trialled. :)

    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
