this makes you wonder about our mobile speed cameras.

A single mobile speed camera location in Melbourne's south-east issued almost $1.5 million in fines last year, even though it was only used sporadically during the day, a Nine News investigation has revealed.

Documents on Victoria's mobile speed camera program reveal in detail the thousands of locations across the state, by street and suburb, where the covert devices were most effective in 2010 at catching out speeding drivers — and generating revenue.

Obtained under freedom-of-information laws, the documents show the busiest camera site was a small section of the Moorooduc Highway at Baxter in Melbourne's south-east, where 9171 fines were issued worth $1.43 million.

The second and third ranked sites, or sections of road, for catching the most speeding motorists are also in Melbourne's south-east, near the bayside suburb of Frankston.

They are a location on the Nepean Highway at Edithvale, where 6382 fines were issued worth $1 million, and another stretch of the Nepean Highway at Seaford, which issued 5236 fines worth $843,587.

In total, the cameras nabbed a combined 605,218 motorists with fines worth more than $103 million through the 2010 calendar year.

Victoria Police uses private contractors to operate 100 different mobile cameras at 2000 approved locations with poor accident histories. The cameras can operate at any of the 2000 locations.

Apart from listings published each week in the Herald Sun newspaper, motorists generally have little idea where any of the 100 cameras are operating at any time.

Closer to the city, other locations successfully targeting motorists include Bell Street at Coburg, Beaconsfield Parade at Middle Park and Toorak Road, at South Yarra — each issuing more than $700,000 in fines last year.

An analysis by Nine News shows 126 locations all issued more than 1000 fines each.

The cameras until now have almost always operated during daylight hours but from December after-dark patrols will commence as new advanced cameras are phased into use that can be used at night without disruptive flashes.

Victorian Auditor-General Dec Pearson last month recommended the night-time use of the mobile cameras in his report into all forms of speed cameras.

He also recommended a ban on publishing any listings on where mobile cameras are operating, saying "there is a likelihood of adverse road safety outcomes as a result", especially in country locations as motorists work out where the cameras may be.

The Victorian Department of Justice is considering Mr Pearson's recommendations.

Mobile speed cameras are only part of the Victorian State Government's speed camera system, along with freeway fixed cameras, intersection and point-to-point cameras. But the number of fines issued by mobile cameras was equal to almost half all 1.32 million camera fines issued in 2010.

The figures on site and fines issued, and the value of those fines, are before any are converted to warnings on appeal. At the Moorooduc Highway, Baxter location, 565 of the 9171 fines issued were later converted to official warnings on appeal.

Sure, it makes heaps of money... but the whole "you don't know where they are" thing is designed to make people go, shit, they could be anywhere, i'll stick to the limit so i don't run the risk of getting caught.

That's the idea anyway.... in reality, people just go "fuggit" and speed off.

[tweety bird]

yes it makes you wonder why the government thinks one way and the people the other...

[Al Despo]

Because they're politicians not people lol

[tweety bird]

Umm, please remember that this is a PUBLIC area of the forum, so keep it clean or warnings (and possibly bannings) will be handed out.

[Galois]

Does that mean the private areas are even less censored? The saunsw whoretown thread must be interesting then

[tweety bird]

well there go's the andrew dice clay quotes....

[GoldZilla]

Does that mean the private areas are even less censored? The saunsw whoretown thread must be interesting then

Well, they are private areas, after all. The general public (ie non-Cub members) can't see it, so there is a little bit more leeway.
