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

New speed and red light cameras

Fixed speed camera and redlight camera heading south cnr doncaster rd and vicoria st doncaster</br>

mobile speed camera corner wyena way and king st doncaster </br>

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:

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

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.

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.

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.

popular spots for roadside camera to sit:

- opposite the burwood hwy end of cathies lane in knox. usually is a rav 4 that sites there.

- stud road, scoresby. usually a station wagon parked on the grass down from the bus stop about 100m or so from the george street lights.

- next to the audi dealership on burwood hwy, burwood. copper usually sits in the driveway next door with the radar.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
