Beware, The Tirtl!

[iamhe77]

For those of you who have not seen this new speed camera yet.

Check it out!

[adznight]

Shit hey!

[femno]

Far out I hope they arent using these in Vic!

The only way around them is by going over 250kph!

No dramas!

There should be a 2m high post 3 dark stips on it (I assume they hide cameras pointed in different directions at the sensors in the gutter - like TIRTL)

Here is a pic of the post (should be pretty easy to spot... unless they also use that little tirtl receiver)

did the word Traffic Logger triggers a thought that it is meant for what it's meant to do? logging number of vehicles for traffic management purpose?

although there is no stopping the IT guys to figure out a way to wire it to a camera and transform it into a Traffic Camera.

AFAIK at this moment it is designed to be traffic logger, to replace the conventional double rubber strip they lay on the road.

but who knows what can be developed from it...

[Basti]

read the description. it is capable of recording vehicle speed, and also camera compatible

[rs73]

fair enough...

doesn't concern me though... I mostly travel on the dot of speed limit in my non-turbo V

[Gazzilla]

They are already Using these on the Eastlink.. beware kids!

[Chris_GTR26]

ahhh shit.. wtf thats gay.

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

nothing gay about it.

you get flashed. you have a cry. in the end you earned that fine.

might get alot of the hoons off the road real fast. shits getting insane these days. everyone seems to be in a rush.

like the other day, 5.45am chandler road keysbourgh 60kph, i pull out of my street into the left lane cause i saw a car in the right. i barely got to 40kph and her flew passed me, car dumped full of people P plates, just asking for it.

[rs73]

maybe they've just come out of cinema watching Fast & Furious....

damn morons just can't get enuf of it after wetting their pants in the movie...

[frx026]

welcome to victoria the revenue state...

Next safeway will put these in their stores to make sure we dont race trolleys...

[zero-R33-]

Love how they say these cameras aren't for revenue raising yet they work so hard to hide/disguise them so a motorist wont notice..

Imo its a blatant tax on the motorist

Ive always wondered what that box was for

[saris]

just another way for vic to dik the general public, but then again people would have thought the same for the current speed cameras, aslong as u learn were they r (lik the cameras now) you shuld b fine

[some_cs_student]

Did anyone find the, we're making "454 million" from speeding fines, and that is expected to increase?

I cannot remember which budget report it was in....but its crazy.

Speaking of speed, I'm still trying to work out why everyone does 50km/h in a 60km/h zone on the way to work, but tailgates me in a 40km/h school zone, and blocks the keep clear zones.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

great... i already have rexeived a 3kph over fine from a speed camera....

revenue raising machines... i'd prefer them to be honest and just raise taxes again

[saris]
