SKYRYAN Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 No but there is plans to put one in there. I think there has been in the past but it didnt work properly.. They just have normal surveylance cameras in there at the moment as far as im aware of.

big col Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 But it sounds so cool when you speed in the tunnel... not that I ever have. The speed cameras at the entry/exit (going either way) do a good enough revenue raising job anyway, maybe they're going to up the ante since they have to pay even more for the overblown perth to mandurah railway line we were supposed to have last year.

ossie_21 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 It's closed every night for a little while because they are upgrading the fire alarm systems in there, it was in last Sunday's paper.

GODTHRILA Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The boss went to a road safety council meeting this arvo so I will ask him on Monday if anything was mentioned. With the tunnel in small concrete sections that are all the same size... it isnt hard for the cops to work out what speed any vehicle is travelling as the tunnel is monitored 24/7. With the new laws enabling anyone to show traffic police video evidence... all the tunnel security would have to do is show the cops a video of a car alledgedly speeding... the cops could determine the speed by how many sections the car is passing over a certain time frame, and then issue an infringement. This new law together with tunnel security/police co-operation, has effectively made the existing tunnel security system, a speed detection system aswell.

MMM Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 there is no speed cameras in the tunnel!!! the cameras you see in there and for main roads to monitor the freeways you will notice one of these cameras at the vincent street turn off as well.

PHATR32 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 if you speed in the tunnel (exceisvly)(SP?) you will get in trouble as they can work out how fast you were going. anyways, i noticed a few weird things in the tunnel today, it looks like some sort of air monitoring device. I wouldnt be suprised if they eventually fit fixed speed camera's. Not that i get a chance to speed in the tunnel, the speed limit is 80 and the second the retards hit the tunnel they slow right down to 60, then speed up as soon as they exit. shits me real bad.....

ossie_21 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Probably because there are walls either side of them, and Perth drivers are shit scared when anything else is close to their cars. Like merging points, another car coming in to the same area automatically means heavy on the brakes & come to almost a complete stop.........

Paddy Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 The police have said they cant put cameras in the tunnel as there is no way they could possibly process the amount of fines it would produce.
