Thoughts? its what we've all wanted to see and now its happening.

Good, it's just plain revenue raising. I'm surprised they got away with putting them in. Clearly we all know they are not there to make our roads any safer or better.

The Government get away with anything they like, they're this countries biggest criminals IMO

[J34]

What about the new "safety Cameras" at traffic lights will these be included?

[Tats]

Oh good, now my qualifying time between Wollongong and Nowra will improve

Princes Highway – Broughton

Princes Highway – Nowra

Bolong Road – Shoalhaven Heads

[UWISSH!]

im suprised they only found that many to used as revenue raisers, there is atleast 5 around wollongong that would have no impact on saving lives, just raiseing money

I wouldn't trust that the cameras are off till they're actually ripped out (if they even are). "I thought the cameras were turned off" isn't the greatest of excuses (not that any of us are looking to go hooning through speed camera zones)

Safety cameras are a joke. Three times Ive had some dead shit infront of me who may be cruising at 60km/h SLAM their brakes as soon as the light turns yellow. One guy I saw literally, LITERALLY, drove his car at about 2km/h before the light. I said wtf are you doing? His response "I knew the light was gonna change colour soon"...

Yes, they were all asian.

I wouldn't count on it

[Yo-Yo]

as long as they take out the useless speed cameras on the m4 heading to parra (wentworthville?) in the 90 zone just before the bridge underpass

Yes, they were all asian.

[N1GTR]

Yep that one was on the list! Hooray!!

+1 to that, I still drive through the parramatta one daily for work and until they rip it out im not going to risk it..

[Ganty22]

keep in mind while allot of these cameras are being 'turned off', most of them are just getting relocated to places where they will be more successful (they are meant to slow people down and save lives)

[GTR-N1]

New sign on old cam says,

"This camera has been switched off 6 days a week - guess which days!!"

...just dreamin'

[Humbla]

About time,the one on the princes hwy at nowra what a joke.No safety issue there just a cash cow.

Bahahahaha

The ones I hate most are out front of kings school. You got traffic, flickering shade and sunlight, more traffic, kids, turns, shit on road, changing lanes cos of some slow truck etc and, as clarkson puts it, you have to do all that while just staring at your speedo.

I guess if it's helping though..... unless kings parents just didn't want them removed
