Hey to the fellas in Adelaide (and whoever knows about fixed cameras), there is a fixed safety camera situated on Brighton rd where it intersects Sturt Rd (just infront of the Brighton Metro and near the BP On The Run). This catches out people traveling down Brighton Rd heading southbound. However I am curious to know if it catches out oncoming traffic heading north? Reason I ask is I believe I crossed a red light by a whisker while I was in the left lane heading north this morning. I believe I have been saved by someone above since after having a quick look around the intersection, there only seems to be cut lines (for pressure pads I assume) in the southbound lanes intersection, yet none apparent on northbound lanes intersection. Also after crossing the intersection heading north at 60km/h, after a second or two your car is basically at right angles to the camera which I figure is too far forward for the cam to get a good enough pic of any vehicle. I also did not notice any flashes but then again it was around 7am. However I may be wrong and sitting here while a fine is on it's way. I am not bashing any fixed cams or am not willing to hear the "well if you stopped you wouldn't have to worry" routines, I'm just curious to know if I got caught. If so I will cop the penalty no questions. So anyone have any idea? thanks in advance
