New Speed Cameras?

[wanzi]

hey guys, i got an email at work advising of these new speed camera's at a bunch of melbourne's major intersections on the east side. they are shaped like a tall grey cylinder and have 3 black strips with cameras that watch each lane. i dunno if this was proved as a hoax or not. and ages before that i saw photo's of wheelie bin cameras? was that a hoax as well?

yer theres a thread about those, are they out now?

[JamesK]

EDIT: Found It

Yes they're real.

spray paints sound like a good idea now eh..

Got that email ages ago, but have never seen one before, even at the intersections that was suggested in the email.

But they are pretty much just a replacement of the red light / speed cameras around Melb.

I agree mate.

Why aren't all these 'Safety' cameras painted in safety colors?

Oh and the easiest way to 'fix' a safety camera.... a cordless drill and,

ok guys it looks like the emails were true and these cameras DO EXIST! while on the cruise last night, we were heading up maroondah hwy from lilydale and a couple of minutes up the road past dorset road on my right hand side was one of those bloody cameras. i dunno if it was turned on but i dont think a potato sack will cover it as it appears to be about 9ft tall. so id check out that email again and find out where the rest of these buggers are

That's been there for the better part of a year. It's a speed and noise camera, and it's active.

There's a new camera installed at corner of Highbury Rd & Huntingdale Rd.

It's the standard new style camera + the thing in the gutter as per the pic.

Must have been installed in the last few days, didn't notice during last week going to work
