Speed Camera's??

[DABOSS]

Does anyone know anything about the speed cameras on the Hume HWY, Traveling Northbound up the Hume towards Beveridge.

In particular if they are time of distance ( point to point ) camera's only or if they also catch drivers speeding through as well as point to point.

As this is all news to me since the Hwy has been extended.

Not absolutely sure, but I'd say with Vic's record? Flash for cash...

Firstly, a comma was used to show a pause in the sentance.

The other 2 apostrophe, were used to show abreviation.

At least that's what I learned at school, I think? :

I wonder why people put apostrophes when they aren't necessary.

Sorry, but I'm picky with punctuation.

I probably should ignore that.

Because he's trying to say "speed camera is".

I am pretty sure they are standard speed cameras. I will contact someone shortly to confirm. Interesting thing is the two new sets of speed cameras on the Hume Highway are both in pairs. Either way they will measure speed between points or past point and if that exceeds limit people will be caught and I hear they will register speeds in excees of 200kmph. I am not sure if they are operating yet, as in switched on and raising those saftety cameras dollars for Bracksie.

Well that still wouldn't make sense in the context...

I know. I was in a way agreeing with you, from a comical standpoint.

Yes, they are road safety cameras, I went past them on Monday. My initial thought was that they must have had a drop in revenue in Vic, as these things are sprouting up everywhere.

Another tricky little manouvre is the proliferation of roadworks around the fixed speed cameras on the hume highway near Gundagai, and the other one south of Yass. They put the speed limit for the roadworks down to 40, and then have a sign saying your speed will be checked. So if you're doing over 40 the camera which is normally assigned to work at 100 now works at 40. Furthermore, there is never anyone working at those roadworks.

Reminds me of the sign in Albury when you enter NSW where it says "NSW - Feel Free". Should be; NSW - Feel Free, 'cause we'll tax you to death"

My 5 cents - unless paying with eftpos or credit card then it can be 2 cents.

Come on guys we all know they are "Road Safety Cameras" not speed cameras.....

Yes.

I suppose they're meant to replace police cars, as speed is the only thing that kills.

Hope my grammar is correct.

Who cares what their method of measurement is. Dont speed and you have nothing to fear.

Very mature attitude there. :

Ill say it again, dont speed and you wont get busted. Just because o have an AU and its on LPG doesnt mean i havent been fined for speeding.

[Redrum]

Had a chat with traffic camera office and they have not yet been briefed on new cameras on the Hume, but concencus was they are time over distance cameras. I believe they are still in test and development stage. I tried the phone number of project manager for development but could't get through.

I would have thought fatigue and not speed would be the greater danger on the Hume for crashes.......... What is Bracks doing about Fatigue?

That sounds a lot like "if you ain't a terrorist, you've got nothing to fear". Be serious, with 3km/h tolerance, everyone is a speeding motorist.

I know, and ive been done twice very near too or on the limit. This has changed my approach to driving. the Speed limit is that, a limit. If you drive 5km/h under it, your gain in 3km/h still leaves you 2km/h under it.

I value my money and licence more than the possible hint of speeding.

As long as people that drive like this don't sit in the right lane, which always seems to happen, or they overtake at the 5 km under speed............

What is the precise purpose of the apostrophe in the title of this thread?

Missed that.. That's the one.

Cheers.

the word is they are point to point cameras. i have a theory that the point to point are the two strips that are 2 mtrs or so apart.. so the two points aren't one camera location to the next. I will put the word out to other drivers and see what the general opinion is.

[Van D]

I have a list of all set camera's in Vic and what they are somewhere... I'll try find it.
