New permanent speed cameras

[Lefty]

My mother drove me around Syd a few months ago.

Despite the three warning signs before each one, she didn't notice any one of the speed cameras.


I don't go in the car with her anymore.

Because she lost her license?

Just heard Main Roads on the radio explaining these cameras.

They are to map travel times on Leach Highway during different times of the day. They have number plate recognition technologies in cameras and have been installed to try to steamlime the travel of the trucks to and from the Port.

The guy from Mian Roads definitely guaranteed that they are not fixed speed cameras.......................

..................they sure look like 'em!

Yep, heard a similar thing on the radio.

They also spoke about the new technology for the multi lane speed camera's and the Red light/Speed Camera's which you can get done twice in one hit with... No more speeding up to beat that red light

Here is some info.... http://www.policespeedcameras.info/

More and more intersections are being monitored...

I saw some old traffic lights get upgraded to LED ones the other day...

I believe at the same time a camera was mounted, just an observation one, as I had not noticed it before...

[ashmo]

are these "victronic" systems fixed cameras or just a new form of speed camera's? That will be added to the number of exsisting cameras?

[JuanPablo]

Is anyone able to do coordinates of said cameras so we can add them to GPSs and the like?

I don't use one, but I may very shortly I think.

I'm a little late to the party, but I can set up a separate page on that site that just lists the co-ordinates if you like.

What format do you need it to be in.

-31.xxx, 115.xxx - Address or;
-31.xxx, 115.xxx with no address?

Let me know and I'll stick it up.

Could you make it GPX format: GPS eXchange Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so that people can use something like GPSBabel GPSBabel: convert, upload, download data from GPS and Map programs to convert to whatever format they need for their GPS receiver?

[JuanPablo]

Looks doable. Stand by.

Just read that link about the "TIRTL" thing so do these things get rego's? Cause if they do, speeding in general could very quickly become a past time story.... well for me anyway I get paranoid now even if i'm doing 5k's over the limit, guess they're doing their job well then.
I don't really understand people's arguments to the whole "THEY'RE JUST DOING IT FOR REVENUE RAISING"..... everyone knows they are so wtf can we do about it? Is there a law against it? There must be because everyone keeps bringing it up??? Please to have it explained, thanks.

[Bulla]

Oooo also just read that apparently it cannot detect small vehicles, lane changers and . . . . BIKES , and it's range is 2-250km/h with a 99.5%+ accuracy.

So if your planning on speeding make sure you're swerving all over the shop if you're in a large car or going well over 250 good luck Wonder how well these things would work with a board placed over them.....

red light cameras that double as speed cameras have been operating over east for ages even in my home state SA. WA has just been living up to the Wait Awhile saying and in this case its in our favour! Nothing like speeding up to beat the red and getting stung for running the red and speeding !

[JuanPablo]

GPX stuff done, link is at the bottom of each map (current day only).

I don't have a GPS to test with, so give it a whirl and let me know what is broken

[Uni]

Can't wait... we can have a WA version of this...

Speed Cameras

hmm, I must be bored. Great site though, not that I'd do anything like that myself

[WildCard]

Checked the speed camera locations this morning and three new permanent camera came up on Leach Hwy.

1. North Lake Road
2. Stock Road
3. Carrington Road.

Hopefully the following ling will work.

Traffic information and speed camera locations Australia

I don't know how these speed cameras detect you - unless they're just not turned on yet? Went through the 3 on Leach HWY this AM with my detector, X, K, Ka & Laser turned on and none of the alarms went off.

Sadly these are the new types of camera's, they are currently testing them in a few locations (fwy south, perth - bunbury) as well as these intersections.

they are video camera's with plate recognition software they do not use laser/radar type signals, instead they use multiple sensors disc's in the road which communicate with each other and the camera to measure speed. These new camera's do not flash when they catch you!

There are also a few dotted around at level crossings... there's on one Welshpool road that will happily snap a photo if you cross before the lights stop blinking.

these are also speed camera's designed to catch those that speed up to clear the crossing before the boom gate comes down.


don't you just love our government!

I finally got bored. You can do this directly from the site now, convert the locations to most popular GPS formats. (Thanks to GPSbabel)

Give it a go and let me know if any problems. As per usual, it is very untested

Awesome - I'll give it a go when I'm back in Perth next month.

Fwy south? Where? And what sort of camera?

[Garett]

Oooh, can you do a Daytona format one too?

[Pk]

saw these new setup this arvo at 4:30pm on riverside drive

it was the new 2 camera setup

[Flyboy]

So does anyone have a list of where all the permanent speed cameras are?
The only one I know of is on Riverside Drive.

^^^gee, I'd hate to see something terrible happen to them!

Isn't it great? Being a tax-payer, having your taxes used to fund further tax raising measures. Involuntarily taxed to be taxed involuntarily.....
