about a month or 2 ago between Chermside and Aspley, I spotted a small metal box sitting in the centre traffic island.

It was fixed to the ground (approx 50 x 50cm x ??) and seem to have some type of camera & flash mounted in it.

also looked like it was attached to those rubber traffic counter strips running across the road.

anyone else seen what I'm talking about?

hope like hell they aren't a new type of speed camera. they could hide them almost anywhere.

They are indeed the new speed cameras.

No their not...

They had them on all major arterial roads out of Brisbane.

Their simply traffic monitoring cameras, it was in the local "North side chronicle" paper a few months back.

They were set up on sandgate road, gympie road & old northern road.

Also a bunch of back streets to monitor how many people used urban streets to take short cuts.

They were only up for 3-4 days and were very basiclly secured to sign posts.

The one on Linkfield road near bunnings Carseldine was stolen hence the story in the paper calling for it to be returned.

The new fixed speed cameras look very similar to the old ones, just a tad bit smaller. Check out the one on the gateway just before the Nudgee turnoff heading southbound. Its about to go active in the next week. Just need the lines on the road to be painted and its up and running. Just another one to add to the dozens of mobile units out there to take your money...

[dan_the_man]

yeah col is spot on.

[Isola]

apologies then

I don't read the paper, and was told by several that they were the new cameras.

[Col-GTSX]

Im still surprised no one had gone out with a petrol powered grinder and just cut a speed camera down...

Or thrown paint all over the road where the lines are...

Or spray painted the lens...

Or gone postal...

I don't know about here in Australia but in the UK they've given them a hard time:

i'm pretty sure the speed camera locations for my GPS that i downloaded the other day had that one in it already

[Col-GTSX]

yeah the locations are well known, they published the list in the sunday mail about 3 weeks ago...

all the locations to be activated in 2010...

im blown away people still get caught by them, I mean their in the same spot every day... slow down...

[boostn32]

i'm pretty sure the speed camera locations for my GPS that i downloaded the other day had that one in it already

where can you download all the camera sites in to a gps, what is the best gps to have these days, i get my license back in 4 weeks and will be needing

to know where these camera's are. it's been a long 3 years so i have no idea where any are now.

what is the best gps to have these days

you don't need to know where the cameras are if you're doing the speed limit at all times.
