Over 40 Red Light Cams have already been switched to Double-Task as Speed Cams as well as Red Light Cams.

Over the next couple of years, 100s of the old wet film type are in the process of Double-Tasking ^^^

You can check the RTA Website for locations of those that have been changed over in preparation for "Operation Safe Arrival" that started today. The Fixed-wing aircraft for speed-spotting along the Hume at Marulan has also just begun operating.

rta nsw > myRTA > Centre For Road Safety > Speeding > Safety Cameras

So in essence, some of those 'old' cameras that only used to check if you went thru a red light too late can also check your speed & then too late; you see a flash. Be warned! :D

DO NOT GUN IT THRU THE ORANGE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have seen the camera on Pennant Hills/Beecroft Rd flash randomly a couple of times now, I guessed that it might do speed now.

I'm pretty sure this system is already in place in the ACT :D

yeah ive noticed that one aswell going off randomly, i have noticed they have upgraded to a new camera style and it keeps on going off, but i didnt see any signs and im pretty sure (unless the laws have changed) speed cameras need to have 3 signs for fixed, one sign for a set up speed camera and no signs for moving speed cameras like radar ect...

But they tend to keep tinkering with it everytime i'm there so i'm not sure if its operational there anyway.... YET

you clearly havent read the law

they dont need any signs

the red light + speed cameras only have one sign " safety camera ahead"

laws do nut days they haves to has a sign at allz
hehe yes i noticed those too

also everyone drops speed right down now before lights so if limit is 70kmh pple are doing 55-60kmh

...which annoys me even more! If they stuck to around the speed limit the whole time (where-ever possible), instead of slowing down and speeding up constantly, they'd probably save fuel and reduce their travel times.

I guess we're gonna have to stop at red lights and do the speed limit then....

unless someone can come up with a better alternative..........

i'll get the popcorn.....

lol...

and get overtaken by (courier) pushbikes...

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
