Just use Waze. Aussies love dobbing.
Every unmarked camera I have passed has been very clearly and accurately indicated on Waze. Soon they will block that feature legally. You wait and see. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

It doesn't take a genius to realise what that new SUV is on the side of the road with the one spotlight far out on one side ![]() There's hardly any police out on the roads around Melbourne, it's mostly fixed and mobile cameras, occasionally you'll come across highway patrol or the very odd unmarked car. Even through Melbourne's 'ring of steel' I never had my work permit checked and I managed to sneak from Melbourne to Bendigo twice by going back roads. |

I also have seen two wholly un-signed ones; George St (Bligh Park) on Nov 25th and a week later the Princes around Albion Park. Fairly sure I’ve also seen in moving traffic near Gladesville, a camera car with only the reflective checker stripe, no sign-written statement of its “job”.
So, yes, unless they are going to issue warnings from the un-signed busts, the twelve month transition was about honest as much of what the incumbents do. |

I wonder how long it will be until speed cameras are obsolete. Given the technology appearing in cars, the car itself will probably dob you in every time you speed (like 1kmph over the speed limit).

No joke, a lot of fleets are moving to IVMS, in vehicle monitoring of speed, acceleration, braking, not wearing seatbelt on startup or drive off, compulsory rest breaks on journeys longer than two hours. All breaches are immediately registered with employers. All data is accessed via vehicles own computer so how long before the government makes vehicle monitoring a safer issue and mandates it for all new passenger vehicles.

do the speed cameras take a picture of the front of the car, or the back of the car? because i ride around on a bike sometimes, and there plates are on the back only.

Wasn't until a couple years ago that they couldn't pick up motorbikes on our toll roads M1/M2

How are people going to hold a phone to their ear, text, look at Facebook, have a zoom meeting and do their makeup with out the speed camera warning signs.
People are going to have to concentrate on the road now.

Gotta make up for the debt somehow.
Mobile cameras have been around for at least 10 years now? Roads don't feel any safer, if anything drivers seem to have got worse. IVMS is crap too. Break the speed limit by 1km/h for more than 5 seconds and it records a breach on your file and sends emails to whoever to report you. Not even the highway patrol is that strict. Brake to avoid an animal strike and you get a breach on your file. Fatigue breaches go off engine run time, not driver log in time. You can drive for 4 minutes and and get a fatigue breach on your file because then engine wasn't restarted and the warning is 5 minutes before breach |

There's just no mercy with IVMS, the worst of it being when you try to stick to speed limits
on those 60 kph off ramps and you get vehicles six inches off your back bumper. In the city, it's just not workable with idiots that don't understand why you don't speed up and then they pull around and brake check you, there's another breach on the system. |

Now you have to slow down to merge left behind the brain dead moron and infuriate the people behind when you slow or sit in the right lane next to the moron. 10 Years and this will be norm for private cars too. Except the government will want a payment since you endangered ever ones life by doing 1 over. |

QLD has had no signage for many years. Welcome to the fold NSW. Pretty sure it was just a matter of time.

Hi Guys,
I have already come across the Camera Car parked on the side of the road in a 50KMH zone and there was no sign. I have also seen a few unmarked cars around in Sunny Goulburn NSW also parked on the side of the road. |

What ? you lot didn't know that speeding was illegal, But you do obey some laws, right ?.
Keep in mind not all drivers have your driving skills. It's like the Bible, just pick out the good bits. bye |

Vic is all over the place with signage. Signs near fixed cameras. Random permanent warning signs on roads "Speed Camera in Area".
There is a main road in my area that has a warning sign as previously mentioned never seen a mobile camera on that stretch of road. There is a fixed camera at an intersection about 1km away which has a "Road Safety Cameras Operate in this Area" Sign before the intersection. As for the placement of the mobile cameras they park in some places near me that are dangerous for pedestrians, they block the footpath. Last edited by EBSXR6; 12-12-2020 at 08:39 AM. |

They had a mobile camera parked on our country highway in one of the few safe overtaking spots yesterday, absolutely ridiculous.

Often see the un/marked Police car sitting up the dirt track off Cobblers road coming down the big hill on the Hume at Jugiong, NSW. Sneaky bugger.
