I was copied in to an e-mail...changes to the redlight cameras. I always thought they extrapolated the speed based on sequential photos and distance travelled but for what it's worth here it is...

These are the new fixed red light / speed camera locations for Perth.

"LOCATION:

CANNING HWY/RISELEY STREET APPLECROSS

WANNEROO RD/BEACH ROAD BALGA

BEACH RD/MIRRABOOKA AVENUE BALGA

ALBANY HWY/LEACH HWAY OFF RAMP BENTLEY

STIRLING HWY/ERIC STREET COTTESLOE

MORLEY DVE/ALEXANDER DVE DIANELLA

ROE HWY/KALAMUNDA ROAD HIGH WYCOMBE

WINTERFOLD RD/STOCK ROAD HILTON

HEPBURN AVE/MARMION AVENUE PADBURY

CANNING HWY/DOUGLAS AVE SOUTH PERTH

G.E.H./SHEPPERTON RD VICTORIA PARK

LEACH HWY/BUNGAREE RD WILSON

These are the up-coming locations for the new red light/speed cameras. If you speed through the intersection you will get done for speeding.

They will all be in action from June/July. .

There is one already active in front of the bell tower on Riverside Drive in the City. "

No I wasnt shouting thats how the e-mail came lol

Does anybody know how these redlight cameras work? For example I go through a orange light and it turns red half way through, At what point will Camera go off? 1Sec after red? Any car less than halfway through?

I doubt they have changed the way the redlight cameras go off, if you cross the line while the light is RED, you get done.

I feel sorry for whoever slams up the back of me when I grab the anchors to stop for a late amber light instead of squeezing the gas a bit.

No, these new redlight camera's Operate as normal but they will also snap you if you are speeding through the intersection when its amber, dont speed up to beat an amber and you'll be right.

There's not a way to fight it, if you get done is there?

" I had to speed up cause there was no room to stop/ there were people close behind me"?

Uhh I doubt it, it's there fault that they hit you anyway :) There's no need for you to speed up when the light is amber anyway, just take it at normal speed or brake and wait.

The law is the law but unfortunately, there are tonnes of plonker-f**khead drivers all over the place that'll sit up your arse to make it through an amber light only to be thwarted by you and your desire to keep your licence. As such, your car is going to literally get arse-raped.

That's the price we all have to pay. My advice - GET INSURANCE. Or move to the country where they're lucky to have one set of lights.

:banana:

Shouldn't have any drama's in any zone...in 100kmph zones, there are pre-amber warnings 100 metres ahead, and we all know the rules...if you're too close to a car to stop as quickly or quicker than that car, you're too close.

I didn't think there were 100kmh speed limits through lights?

thanks for the info

quite annoying to see WA traffic lights copping speed cameras too now just like in VIC, every 2nd traffic light is a speed camera over there..

it was bound to happen though im actually suprised it took this long.. but now that it has.. not so happy haha

I'll be sure to memories those locations :D

I got rear-ended by a van because I was braking for the amber instead of trying my luck to run a red. :(

:rofl:

Exactly, I got full comp insurance & my car is getting fixed for free at the moment, but still a pain in the a** to go through the whole process again, now I'm reduced to driving around in a grandpa spec Camry :bunny:

Tonkin highway? Although the speed limit goes down from 100km/h to 80km/h at each traffic light intersection.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
