Safety Camera's ARE speed camera's champ. I'm fairly sure they only ping you as you go through a red light, but I'm not sure about this. What I am 100% certain of is that they ARE in fact both Red Light AND Speed cameras.

its all about money. nothing to do with saving lives. speed and red light cameras must have signs warning you. no signs, then dont worry. safEty cameras are not speed cameras.

On the other flip of the coin it could be called "automatic law enforcement" :D

So i guess if you have been dialling up some big numbers on the speedo,pull over and relax for 5.

kinda defeats the whole purpose of speeding though (were i to do that kind of thing) :blink: but all good, it's all false.

On another point I will 100% confirm that stationary SOUND cameras are now in use, In wollongong. As I understand it is still in a test phase... I think

note to self: decat/screamer and bounce off limiter past it :)

From what I believe/was told, seeing as these cameras have a dual purpose and a new name there's rules/laws for these type of cameras over a regular speed camera.

Speed cameras have a main purpose of checking speed, and under the law requires 3 signs/notifications before the camera (if I remember correctly). Saftey cameras or at least signs saying Saftey cameras ahead have been out for a while with the law stating they only need x1 sign/notification before this sort of camera.

So basically it's a loophole. They have called these cameras 'new' saftey cameras to get out what they want the cameras to do. I have nothing against this, as if they really want to do it, they will find a way. No point complaining about it.

STOP VOTING FOR LABOUR they are just money grabbers.....
Except all of these changes re speed cameras are independant of the government... Ie the rta put them in...
Last time I checked the RTA is a NSW government Agency....

It really wouldn't matter if it was a Labor or Liberal government in place, so they'll always be there regardless - the cameras make revenue and cost nothing compared to what it would require to do some ACTUAL work to decreasing our road toll and IMPROVING our driving skills as a whole.

The government has always taken the easiest road out (and probably always WILL)...

    • Well, fun day was had, I finally found a house that will do me just fine, 1980's brick build, but with full fresh renovations, plus new colour bond fencing all round so puppies are incoming 馃悤, and water tanks for the garden, and it's located in West Goulburn..... @Duncan 馃, so day trips to Wakie to watch cars going Zoom will be on the cards In the end it cost well under my budget and was actually better than alot of the more expensive joints I was looking at, it is in a good area, close enough to the shops, public transport, and the Wollondilly River Weir,  and the great walking paths along the river, but far enough away from town to see minimal traffic The deposit is dropped, the conveyancer is conveyancing and I should get the keys in a week or 2 as the property is currently unoccupied  As with everything I own, I'm doing up a modifications list, as it doesn't have solar, that is first up on the big list, all of the panels and enough batteries to keep the joint warm, or cool, followed by a largish carport out the front, the small list, which will start as soon as I have keys, is some security stuff, like cameras, screens, and the usual "crazy prepper" additions that weird old people like (mouse holes to stick shot guns out of, and the usual man traps that the average person installs for the unsuspecting and unwanted guests 馃ぃ) The gardens front and back are OK, but, not to my standards or liking, so landscaping will be a fun job to start getting into, so when spring is sprung I'll do a heap of planting, lots of natives and vegetables is the plan, the old owners were more "Old English Garden" type, so basically Roses and other weird looking things that are destined for the green waste bin One thing that is staying garden wise is a nice established hedge out the front, it is about 5 foot tall and covers the whole front of the property from prying eyes As for the car hoist, the roof in the garage has some height to it, but, I'll need to get an installer out to see what can be done, width wise may be a issue, but my building inspector will be getting back to me over the next week with his recommendations  Small, but cosy
