M7 & M5 Point To Point Speed Devices

[MaTBoY]

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.

nah the ones on the metal frames not at intersections just straight road. usually has a white sign with 2 or 3 small cameras pointing down over the lanes.

ok just did a bit of googling and noticed that speed cameras are now called safety cameras. should be cslled cash or revenue cameras. the ones im talking about i think monitor the traffic, safEty cams....

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"

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) 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.

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)...
