As I noticed a couple of new/sneaky road safety cameras put up recently I thought it would be handy to let everyone know about cameras around Melbourne.

Feel free to post up any fixed, portable cameras you see around the place so that others can be aware. Posts can be handy for anyone who checks the forum before they head somewhere. Also, post incidents if they are making a big difference to traffic (eg Western Ring Road). This might be able to help us avoid painful driving experiences.

PLEASE NOTE: This is not a thread for slagging out cops or cameras, purely informative of their where abouts. Please keep on topic with the following format.

SUBURB: Street/Intersection, direction, time (if car mounted or incident), any details/notes. Map if you can be stuffed

A couple that I have become aware of recently:

DONCASTER: Williamsons Road, intersection of Doncaster Road heading south. Speed and red light camera for straight and RH turn (put up recently) Map Linky

ST KILDA: Fitzroy Street, intersection of Lakeside Drive. 40 km/h zone which got a whole bunch of people I know by surprise. Map Linky

This is like a SAU trapstar lol.

Anyway, possible mobile cameras:

Mentone: Approx 85 Lower Dandenong Road just after KFC heading towards Dingley.

Braeside: Approx 340 Lower Dandenong Road, city bound. (Cops hiding behind bush)

Dingley: Lower Dandenong Road (between Heathland Way & McArdle St) outside of the primary school.

Also, I have an idea, what if a mod/admin keep editing the first post and keep adding cameras when reported? So we can have like a LONG list of cameras?

No point reinventing the wheel:

http://www.roadwatch.com.au/speedcameras.asp

Help keep this database up to date. If you see one that isnt on there, send them an email. I have suggested 3 that have been put up there. Much handier having a map too.

That site is cool, but it only has fixed cameras..... It doesn't have mobile cameras or "road incidents".

Found another one with more info: http://www.trapster.com/

That's what I meant by "SAU Trapstar" lol. I think most of us that owns an iPhone has that app :laugh:

MONASH FWY. Just after warragul road exit - outbound. Was stand still traffic an hour ago (12.30), got out of it by doing a u-turn inbetween the fwy O_O. Was the worst. Some sort of incident up ahead. So if you're heading home tonight after the city you are probably not going to read this, but jump off at Warragul road and take a different route.

Oh, also MELBOURNE, Spencer street tonight... they now block off one edge of the city for football?? It took me an hour to get from Melbourne Central to South Melbourne.. So I would pretty much avoid driving there any time there is footy.

i had it on my N95 as well, now have it on the iphone but dont use it much.

Yeah, after having Trapstar on my iPhone for like a month, with push notifications, I ended up turning it off, coz it was sucking up too much of my battery.

I mean the app is good and useful and all, but I'd rather having more batterylife then having fake Trapstar reports coming through every 5mins lol.

Please keep on topic :banana:

ps, I checked out some of those sites and noticed there are a few cameras missing... so this might still be handy.

On Princess Hwy Dandenong Road heading outbound there is a speed/redlight camera at Clayton Rd... but I have also noticed just back from the intersection there is another camera aimed at the flashing '40' sign.

I'm assuming, and can anybody clarify, does that mean during school times the camera speed is set to catch people over 40 limit, when usually its and 80 zone? I've never left work early enough to be driving through there at school times, but this is my guess!?!?

Dandenong South, Pound Rd and South Gippsland Hwy - They are removing the round about there over the next week or so and putting in an intersection. So far traffic flow has been pretty reasonable going inbound for me on the way home from work.

Yeah I've noticed that one on williamsons rd too sneaky buggers, there was also a 40zone for like 100 meters on the way towards that speed camera outside shopping down on williamsoms rd but that has now been removed.

There is a new 40zone on doncaster road as you go past shoppingtown going outbound.

there also expanding the road towards cranbourne to 3 lanes and adding lanes to the ponud road bridge over the freeway, has taken them more than a month to get where thay are now so expect it to continue for a lot longer than a week.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
