38 Speed cameras shut down in NSW

pat,
the election pledge has been meet, BUT, they are talking of these cameras being relocated, maybe a case of moving the issue to another location. This or any state Govt. will not give up on these cash cows, they are too lucrative.

I don't care what party of the pollies they WILL NOT give up on these revenue raisers.
Cheers Colin.

And the one at Herons Creek on the pacific Hwy has not worked for 3 years. I know I dug the wires out when doing the upgrade,and were never replaced.

NSW Has been off my list for some time what with their toll roads

Bring on the Point to Point cameras for cars. Truckies have to put up with them so why shouldn't cars. Isn't the speed limit sign posted. Go over and get busted. Simple. I have a sign on the back of my camper " Hit this camper and it is the last thing you will see on this earth"

agreed mate......we have been subject to those bloody things for years.

Problem is most speed limits are now posted too low

Cheers Tony

"I'd rather the speedsters pay the tax not the ones who abide by the limits"

Of course you would; but that's because you're stupid.

gee mate that reply took a lot of thought

I had noticed it's absence from the list.
They wont remove it Mark, they would then be liable for that accident were the woman nearly died because of the camber of the surface is wrong and water sheets across the road.
Same as the one at Wardel. Two lanes, two different speed zones in different directions, one camera. Is it picking up the 80k's heading north or those traveling over 100k's traveling south?
The problem with the RTA is they are a Law unto themselves.

I agree with comments made by the Police Union Rep, H/way patrol offices pick up other offenses other than speeding, which has to be a good thing.
Tailgating/Dangerous driving, DUI and a heap of others.
And I really don't have a problem with unmarked cars, how stupid is it to advertise that they are about?
Anyway, It's gotta be a good thing in some places.
cheers.

Hairs.
the one at Wardell does not pick up the traffic northbound as the sensors under the road dont extend into the northbound lane.

and the one in Woodburn is a blatant revenue raiser as the speed limit there is only 50 kl/h, and there has never been an accident in the main drag of Woodburn.

That's the idiotic thing about that camera, One piece of road, two speed zones, and the north bound lane is the start of an overtaking lane.

Just like the overtaking lane just north of Grafton, heading south, it's an 80K zone.
Geez, that makes sense?

Anyway, I don't drive fast enough these days to get pinged, not like the good old days with the Cleveland roaring, LOL

G/Day Mark & Jon

That dam hill at St Helena is a pain in the bum.

Nearly every time we were heading south towing the caravan we would get stuck behind a Boofhead Hippy smoking Hooch in a Combie Van or a couple of trucks.

You would have to drop down from the 100k speed limit to 60 k speed limit going up that steep hill.

Those Speed Cameras on the hill would give me the horrors.

So now we take the Byron Bay turn off and go via the coastal route.

It's an interesting detour, going through Byron, checking out the Beautiful People and the Coffee Latte Set, and the young Swedish Back Packer Chics lol lol.

Mind you, given the glacial pace of Sydney traffic - it would be a challenge to get busted by any of them during normal commuting hours

the only one left on the daily commute now is the Marcus Eindfeld Memorial Speed Camera outside Middle Harbour Primary......
