Melbourne's new super Speed cameras
It's a cylindrical pole about 2m high with 3 Perspex stripes on it (hidden cameras, one for each lane of the highway), and there's some matching sensors on the far side of the road in the gutter. When you see the stripes it means that there is a speed camera. The locations for these new cameras are listed below. The one in question is located at the bottom of a very steep hill. Of course it is illegal for a radar or mobile speed camera to be set up in these sort of positions but its ok if its fixed. Melbourne's new super cameras locations Burke Rd & Prospect Hill Rd, Camberwell VIC 3124 Springvale Rd & Maroondah Highway Service Ln Nunawading VIC 3131 Royal Parade & Cemetery Rd W, Carlton North VIC 3054 Canterbury Rd & Station St, Box Hill South VIC 3128 Bell St & St Georges Rd, Preston VIC 3072 Warrigal Hwy & N Rd, Bentleigh East VIC 3166 Albert St & Gower St, Preston VIC 3072 Williamstown Rd & Somerville Rd, Yarraville VIC 3013 Warrigal Hwy & Centre Rd, Oakleigh South VIC 3167 Ballarat Rd & Churchill Ave, Maidstone VIC 3012 Spencer St & Dudley St, West Melbourne VIC 3003 Hoddle St & Johnston St, Abbotsford VIC 3067 Punt Rd & High St, Windsor VIC 3181 Dandenong Rd & Clayton Rd, Oakleigh East VIC 3168 Springvale Rd & Cheltenham Rd, Keysborough VIC 3173 Mt Alexander Rd & Maribyrnong Rd, Ascot Vale VIC 3032 Foster St & McCrae St, Dandenong VIC 3175 Geelong Road & Droop Street, Footscray Sydney Rd & Harding St, Coburg VIC 3058 Millers Rd & Blackshaws Rd, Altona North VIC 3025 Geelong Rd & Geelong St, Kingsville VIC 3012 Fitzroy St & Princes St, St Kilda VIC 3182 Doncaster Rd & Wetherby Rd, Doncaster VIC 3109 Barkly St & Carlisle St, St Kilda VIC 3182 Warrigal Hwy & Batesford Rd, Chadstone VIC 3145 Warrigal Hwy & Centre Dandenong Rd, Cheltenham VIC 3192 Barkers Rd & Denmark St, Hawthorn VIC 3122 Nicholson St & Elgin St, Fitzroy VIC 3053 Smithfield Rd & Epsom Rd, Kensington VIC 3031 Maroondah Highway near where the Bird and Bottle used to be on North side of road, almost on bend in road |

never got a ticket in my driving coureer, and i speed everyday(ie; NOT excessivly, 10-15km), nothing new.. nothing to see move onlong :P
live in vic, and you will understand, it's quite easy not to get a ticket, and that's paying attention to your surroundings, oh thats probably why i've never had an accident, oh I don't know anymore... lol as much as I hate how stricted victoria seem's, it hasn't affected me as such, but wouldn't mind seeing // signs enacted, but i'm in fantasy land here... lol |

we all know its all revenue (speed cameras)
i agree with the red light cameras, i must say... atleast your pedel is your discretion, but speed cameras i will never trust, more chance of causing an accident when braking from say.. 100 to 90, in a 100 zone... if the driver was doing 5km/h more, he would have passed her before she crossed the road, without looking... lol |

When i saw the title on the main page all i saw was Melbourne's super speed i all immediately thought was circuit or freeway. But when i clicked the link why was i not surprised when i saw the rest of the title and it said speed camera's . Any wonder why depression is almost a epidemic at levels in Australia .

Someone should just go over and put tape over the cameras haha. I'm assuming these are the ones that are fixed into the ground?

Someone actually cut the wires on one of the red light camera sensors out here (the installer left them out of the ground).

Funny story actually, the one on Maroondah Highway in Croydon was vandalised a few times when it was first installed. It ranged from the perspex windows being spray painted to someone coming along with a tow rope and ripping it out of the ground with a car. I believe it has a survelance camera inside of it now

I dont see what the issue is? In Melbourne, there are many Speed and Red light cameras that are fixed and in operation and if you speed through them or run a red...Suck it up and pay the fine. The camera operator/builders/police owners etc of the camera are not at fault. You are!
Laws are there for a reason. Any suggestions on tampering with the camera's is illegal and people who do this...Just end up costing us taxpayers more money in repair bills!

By having a more visible cop presence, would reduce 'road rage' because we would know that if the behaviour continued (cutting off/lane changing without indicating/tailgating etc) then those responsible would eventually be caught.

Yep Krudds going to make you pay for the plasma bonus ten fold any way he can. Nanny state No, nanny Country Yes. Perhaps this is the sign of what we are all in for. Soon we wont be able to pass wind with out the government knowing and fining us for it.

I drive through a lot of these locations on a daily basis, and they have recently had regular speed/red light combo cameras installed, not these "super" revenue raising cameras.

Well I can think of a lot of reasons people are uptight about speed cameras, but thats been debated on here so many times I'm just going to leave it alone.
I rarely, probably never, speed around Melbourne these days - theres just no need/opportunity to. The roads are quite congested most of the time, and when they're not the speed limits are reasonable. Plus I know where the cameras are along the routes I usually drive. As a result I havn't had any speeding tickets in over 6 years, and doubt I'll get one from these new cameras. Doesn't mean I agree with them though! |

I wanna go back to the good old days when a 6 foot 4 inch tall monolith in a blue shirt climbed out of a high powered sedan made you feel like you were 3 years old hit you with a fine and slapped you upside your head and sent you on your way when you were doing 60 in a 50 zone. Itll stop these little 16 yr old punks in mummys vr ss speeding let me tell you. the very same guy would sit in his car listening to the radio and wave as you went past at 130kmh in 110kmh on a clear day because he knew there was nothing wrong with that.
(this has very little basis in fact - just the way things SHOULD BE) |
