Has anyone ever seen a red light camera on the intersection of hoddle and johnston street collingwood?

Thanks to this camera that i have never seen in my whole 2 years of driving through their every day and morning i have lost my license!!!

Their are CAMERAS everywhere and they are WORKING now!, just driving down johnston street tonight the speed camera in a 40 zone flashed about 5 times in 10 second delays getting people who probably arent aware of the 40 speed limit

Its seriously becoming un drivable on these roads these days

:(

damn man...

40 feels so slow, i know, but thats the speed limit... what are ya ganna do :(

what speed were you doing, and how long are you suspended?

the 40 zones seem to be special, soooo many people don't do the limit. when i slow down to 40 in school zones etc. people crowd up behind me and get pissed off as if i'm doing something wrong

yeah i got done for the red light offence no speeding fine, it clocked me 1.2 seconds through the red, and i lose ****ING 3 demerit points FOR 1.2 SECONDS OF RED LIGHT and the intersection is massive, im definately going to look at the photo!, and ive been taking that same way for 2 years every day and night and i have never EVER seen a camera at that intersection

and the speed camera on johnston street is 2km up from that intersection so it wasnt that camera. I always follow the speed limit, but this 3 point demerit sucker has ****ed me, i lost 3 demerit points on a Great ocean road cruise about 3 months ago, and now this, 3 months suspension or 12 months good behaviour

i feel like crying

Let em go around. Gotta look after yourself.

I just hope there wasn't a camera on Hoddle at Albert when I saw the Nismoid run a red at 2:40 this afternoon :(

[edit]J/K He was good. Hoddle is the worst piec of traffic in the country IMO

i agree, those mother ****ing revenue rasing ****s should all die! whose with me, lets gather on a cruise and burn all the cameras to the ground and give those loyal corrupt police the ashes for them to snort up on the side of their corrupt dunny bowls so they can continue to pull us people over for no reason, other than that of to serve us with a ban / ticket / fine! its a load of bullshit that should be stamped out!!!! they should all die along with the filthy hippies on the street!

but...

you said u were 1.2 seconds going thru a set of red lights..

So obviously you had time to slow down for the yellow?

correct me if im wrong

Yeah well u always have time to slow for a yellow, but in peak hour traffic 5pm in the arvo ur not exactly going to hit the brakes, well now i definately am :(

I was 1.2 seconds too slow to get over the stop line, and its costed me 3 points my license and a $200 fine.

with red light cameras

they don't activate unless u ENTER the intersection when its red

if it changes to red AFTER you have crossed the stop line (at the start of the intersection), then you've run a red and will pay.

there will be 2 photos, one showing you entering the intersection when the lights when red, and one slightly later showing you cross the intersection.

unless you enter the intersection before it changes red, or didn't cross the intersection (say u crept forward too far waiting), then you can't get off on the photo.

the other defense is "self preservation", if you plead this in court, the prosection case changes to having to prove that you had time to stop safely (if someone was following you wayy to close and follows you through the red, then you can use this to get off)

thanks for the helpful info mate,

ill have to wait till i see the photos, hopefully their is a car behind me, i seriously dont know whyd i be so stupid to go through on a red...

Couldnt agree with you more. I was cruising past a school the other day (not school times) and a cop was sitting in the driveway lasering everone going past. I slowed to 50km/h - he put his lights on and followed me home. $135 and a couple of pointt later for not knowing it was a 40 zone shesh. I realise this is the rule but it was like 6pm and no visible traffic in site. If i was going more than 50km/h then yeah fine but cmon be reasonable vic police....What can you do :rant:

i drive up johnstone at least twice a week. been noticing the flashing cameras go off quite a lot.

mostly people turning right (north) onto hoddle, through a red arrow.

but what worrying me most is the combo camera, further up, but before smith street. been flashing too frequently. i was stopped at the lights, guy in front wants to turn right, so i creep into the far left, behind anohter car.

the lights go green, the lights flash as we both pull off. im lucky to be doing 20km, as it flashes the 2nd time. mind you im stuck behind the 1st car.

realising it couldnt be red light, speed, was wondering if it was bus lane rules, but this was 6pm heading into the city. on my way back, checked again, as i know there is a bus lane rule, but didnt see any sign.

has got me upset about that road. like i said, the light seems to be flashing a hell of a lot, mind you i saw a guy fridya night hit the breaks hard through a green, as the light flashed. guess he was exceeding 40km.

but as for running reds, that is just purely stupid. there are people who time the lights, to pick a nice launch when it hits green. thats when you get things RIGHT ANGLED.

is it a permanent 40 zone or a timed 40 zone?

and if its not signed then simply tell them to *** off

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
