hi guys

im just wondering, has anyone been done at a school zone camera out of school hours?

because i was travelling towards parramatta on Woodville Rd Cnr of Kenelda St & Osgood St, in Guilford ...

the cameras are new with Orange painted posts. Its for the school of Granville South Public school.

i was trying to catch the lights, it didnt occur to me that there was a camera till i passed it.

i didnt recall it flashing, but im starting to think that person who gets the flash, wont see it because your travelling the other way....oncomming traffic ive always witnessed people getting flashed.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/speed...schoolzone.html

thats the link, and it claims that speed cameras for schools also act as a speed camera.

so can anyone shed some light on this?.....

as in..have you been flashed afterhours in school camera? do you see the flash from behind at night???

AFAIK they haven't finished it yet. I go past it everyday for work and l last went past friday and it wasn't finished.

hi there

actually i looked it up on that list.......i got the address wrong......the one mentioned is further up near parramatta in guilford...

which is near a KFC i recall.....but this isnt the one..this one i think is working, it doesnt have organe painted posts.

because on the list of cameras @ RTA.NSW.GOV.Au... the only one on woodville rd is the one mentioned above..

i figured it may have been too new to be put on there...

the one i was talking about is next to a CALTEX petrol station between Fairfield St & Orchardleigh St...

near the new huge Bing Lee & Western toyota dealer...is that the one your thinking of too?

and how do you know its not functional yet?

is this the one near bing lee?

yes thats the one!

HUGE gigantic big lee warehouse that was just completed...and next to a TOYOTA & HINO dealership......its for a school next to it...

that cameras is so new...that its not even listed on the RTA Speed camera website yet........

'Wisey18' said its not completed yet so its not functional......im not sure...he hasnt replied yet....

yeah its not working yet just sittin there they havent even put that other camera or flash thing on yet....
There are no signs for it yet either...

I'm pretty sure it will have a flash cause the second pole (one behind the camera) still has wires sticking out of it...

heya

yeah i drove past today to have abit of a sticky beak...

yes it looks like its still under construction...

the smaller post doesnt have the device attatched..

and the signs are not up yet...just the posts are set up....

cheers guys, i feel better about it now

=)))

so when does double demerit kick in anyways?

Answer the question about those cameras after school hrs.

Ive been caught once in a school zone at 1am. assuming it was a 60zone, i was doing 60km, but i ended up finding out it was a 50km zone.

But for me, i saw the flash, was more of an orange flash though. cost me a fair bit and a few points.

Im going to skip the dribble and lay it out.

I rang the RTA in a similar circumstance. If not on the website the camera is not in effect. It cannot issue a fine (in theory, and according to RTA)

No flash = Infrared flash I.E invis to naked eye.

Just post a letter and copy of the fine to the address on the back to alert them to the fact, you may also want to let them know signs had not been on display before the camera. Legally required 3 in total.

Now just a tip if you are chasing a light, you most likely are still speeding through the zone at its normal speed limit.

Hope it helps :down:

yeah i knwo what you mean, but this camera is right next to a set of traffic lights, makes it a pain in the ass

not in a school zone...

but after hours of school, its generally 60km/h

so if you were going 80 you wouldve got done for 15 and over

but in school hours...80 = Loss of liscence!

incorrect

signs are their as a courtesy, they are no way needed legaly

when they turn the cameras on they will issues warrnings for the first month

apparaently its true

there must be 3 signs for fixed speed cameras.

unless a police radar

As Fatz said, the signs are a courtesy and not a legal requirement. They are not a gazetted traffic sign in the road rules 2008 (However the speed limit symbol on the sign is). There is no excemption from a speeding offence in the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 if signs arent present.

The only sign legally required to enforce a speed limit apart from the default 50km/h limit (Which requires no signage at all) Is a speed restriction or derestriction sign.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
