Stolen from another forum.

These are the new fixed red light / speed camera locations for Perth.

They will all be in action from June/July.



NOTE THAT THE CAMERA'S WILL GO OFF EVEN IF YOU SPEED THROUGH AN ORANGE LIGHT AT THESE LOCATIONS.



CANNING HWY/RISELEY STREET APPLECROSS

STIRLING HWY/ERIC STREET, COTTESLOE

CANNING HWY/DOUGLAS AVE. SOUTH PERTH

G.E.H./SHEPPERTON RD. VICTORIA PARK

ALBANY HWY/LEACH HWAY OFF RAMP, BENTLEY

WINTERFOLD RD/STOCK ROAD, HILTON

WANNEROO RD/BEACH ROAD, BALGA

LEACH HWY/BUNGAREE RD. WILSON

BEACH RD/MIRRABOOKA AVENUE BALGA

ROE HWY/KALAMUNDA ROAD, HIGH WYCOMBE

HEPBURN AVE/MARMION AVENUE, PADBURY

MORLEY DVE/ALEXANDER DVE. DIANELLA



There is one already active in front of the bell tower on Riverside Drive in the City.



Even if you speed through the orange light to beat the red - if you're speeding through these set of lights - you will get done for speeding.



Can anyone shed some light?

I can confirm the bell tower one and the eric st/stirling hwy one. Ive seen a couple of people get flashed going through green lights there even months ago now. apparently they were only testing though

might be stock rd, carrington, and stirling hwy or high st/east st.

I've seen several of them being worked on but the only one that's ready to go is the one on Riverside Drive (afaik)

If they're flashing cares going through green lights, we essentially have a fixed speed camera that becomes a combo camera once the light goes amber/red. This is so much worse than the standard combo cameras that I thought were being introduced. They're making shit difficult :(

I hope that somebody logs the number of accidents at these intersections before and after. I think it's safe to say that there'll be a noticeable increase...

Pppft simple solution. Just accelerate to 250kph before crossing the intersection, and the camera can't get you.

The solution is so simple, I don't see what all the fuss is about.

The cameras make sense, but only to an extent.

Anyone who runs a red deserves to die. The downside to the speed camera component is that situation as you approach the lights doing the speed limit and they suddenly change - you have the choice to either brake really hard to speed up. I would not be surprised if there are more rear-end crashes as a result of people braking hard in fear of getting caught speeding through an orange light.

And yes, have seen the cameras similar to the setup on Riverside Drive pop at at some of the above mentioned intersections.

In all the years I haved lived in the area, I can't recall once ever having seen this flash. The unit is set that far back from the lights and looks that old, supprised it ever worked. I can't recall seeing any changes to the unit either.

speed up to make it to the line then break heavily before entering the 'kill zone' in the actual intersection?

TheChad
02-06-2010, 01:44 AM
so what technology are these ones using to measure speed? is it sensors in the road like traffic sensors (to make the lights change colour etc?) or are they video recognition?

would be helpful to know just incase it is detectable somehow, might make it easier than memorising which intersections are bugged....

Mad_Aussie
02-06-2010, 07:31 AM
I live right behind leach/bungaree... IMO its a good thing. Seen a lot of people get wiped out hardcore running reds there.. Since they upgraded the lights to LED ones they seem to have changed the timing too, so its a bit longer on the green... But in my first week living there I was sitting first at the line when someone in the intersection got cleaned up by a truck. IMO these big intersections all need those amber flashing 'prepare to stop' signs, some of these no-lobes need all the huge flashing warnings they can get.

i reckon these intersection cameras are going to do more harm then good. pingpingpingpings are not gonna know what to do, brake, or keep going, or speed up then realise they will get done so brake hard.... every intersection (well main one) should have the flashing amber lights, best idea seen on the roads ever. oh hang on, they dont make money...that was a silly suggestion.

Skitzo
02-06-2010, 11:32 AM
WTF @ people thinking it will cause accidents due to braking late and shit.

If your close to the intersection and lights change to orange, and you cant theoretically stop without slmming brakes, then your close enough to cruis through at the speed limit. If you see the lights change to orange and have to speed to make it through, than you would have plenty of time to safely come to a stop.

Further to what Skitzo said, if you're travelling to close to the rear of the car in front of you and worried about rear-ending the car in front of you at lights, then you're too close in the first place.

On more than one occasion I have braked for an orange light while the car behind me thought I was going to run it and has sunk the boot in to go through it. I've looked up to see front bumper almost toucing road, smoke billowing out of front guards, and have had to roll forward into the intersection a bit to avoid being ass-ended.

My concern is not hitting anyone in their car but someone hitting me in mine. Add wet weather to the mix and people who have always had the 'orange safety period' with which to breeze through the limit at a few km's over due to not being able to pull up in time will be sliding through red lights sideways and into oncoming traffic. If I'm that oncoming traffic I'll be none to happy. It's an effective measure of weeding these old cars out off the roads due to write off but at the risk of mine being t-boned? No thanks.

Agreed. It's not the lights you have to worry about, it's the idiots behind you. Problem is, you can't trust anyone else on the road and always have to look out for #1. This is going to increase the risk (especially in the case of the leach highway/carrington street lights) of trucks rear ending cars because the car driver is affraid to run an amber for fear of red light/speed fine as opposed to being taken out by the truck behind them who notoriously don't stop for lights at those intersections.

for those of you who use trapster there is a combo camera that can be reported. Maybe its time tto start using that, i know ill be using trapster more now instead of remembering where all the camera's are.

To me this just goes to show you how many people disregard the road rules and other road users and how badly people needed to be be reminded they are NOT the only road users who can bend the rules. They are simply going to have to adapt. I am all for these new cameras and believe they should be set up at EVERY single set of traffic lights.

As I am always on the road, on a daily basis (not weekly, daily) I see so many people run straight reds. I've been through plenty of intersections where I just get through with the light changing to red at the other end, I look in me rear view mirror to see another TWO cars going through the intersection with the last car just starting to cross the intersection. Just yesterday, light goes green and there comes a truck through on an arrow with a car behind. So yes, bring in these camera's. I am more for these for road safety than revenue raising speed camera's.

As for truck drivers not being able to stop, boo fucking hoo. Go hand in their licences if they can't drive. They get in the truck in the morning full aware what they are driving and what is in the back. If they can't stop like every other person on the road, well piss off and collect trolleys.

Yakky Bear
02-06-2010, 01:34 PM
will the cameras go off when say for instance you approach the intersection. Lights are green but when you get to the line they go orange? You still doing the limit but keep motoring on through as there was no chance of you stopping in time and it was safer for you to go through the orange light instead of trying to stop than end up halfway through the intersection stopped.

Skitzo
02-06-2010, 01:36 PM

02-06-2010, 01:55 PM
No, fortunately they, like all other red light cameras, are setup to go off only if someone crosses the white line AFTER the light has gone red, meaning if you're in the middle of the intersection when it's yellow, you're fine.

And yeah Rotary, I agree mate, I drive every day of the week, to work/home and to client sites and back, the amount of stupid shit I see on a daily basis beggars belief.

02-06-2010, 04:21 PM
we have just had the same thing installed at a few major intersections up here in darwin, and cant say they have caused any dramas...

basically speed cameras pick you up for speeding, no matter what the colour of the lights, but are really there to get you when you accelerate to go through the yellow. the red light camera is activated from the line sensor, just infront of the solid white stop line, which activates the camera to flash twice, therefore showing you running the red light.

back in perth, i rolled across the white stop line and activated the red light camera which took two shots of me in the same spot. so i didnt get a fine due to not running a red light. if you did run the red light, the photos would be of you crossing the stop line, and the next one would be of you out in the middle of the intersection.

02-06-2010, 04:55 PM
Apparently there's a segment about these cameras on 7 news tonight.

Edit: according to 7, the one on Riverside Drive was activated 26 days ago (~7th May) and the two Beach Rd units have been installed. Other units are being prepared (eg: Shepperton Rd) with a total of 30 to be installed in the metro area.

They claim that the cameras are laser based - will be interesting to see of that's true. If so, jammer on the rear anyone?

Without sounding silly, do these cameras detect the speeds for both roads intersecting the lights, or just the main one? i.e. in the case of Leach/Bungaree, where leach has a 70kph limit and Bungaree 50, will it ping you if you're going say 60 down Bungaree, but still under the Leach hwy 70?

Can vouch for Morley Drive and Alexander Road saw a bunch of guy there this morning working on it around 6:30am this morning, high vis n shit. I used to work in forrestfield and never got a fine from Kalamunda Road lights, ( did run it a couple of time by accident 4am in the morning half asleep ) so until now i doubt that thing ever worked properly.

And Mr Rotary, to be honest you try stopping a fully loaded 60tonne truck at 100kph and using all 17 gears and exhaust brake and see if you can pull it up for a red light as good as they can, no freakin way it would cause more damage if they stop and also people around areas where this is happening know that trucks run lights because they cant stop.

Your post is complete BS im sorry.

for people saying theyve been flashed and not booked for red light cameras, i've read/heard on the grapevine somewhere (cant remember where) that they dont have film in all cameras. i bet that wont be the case for the permanent speed camera ones though.

Either theyve gone or I've just stopped noticing, but do they still have those red light camera signs at every intersection with red light cameras? May be hard to remember every speed camera location (especially those not on your daily run), but if these are there be sure to slow down for every intersection with a red light camera sign.

I was under the impression that the was more red light camera locations than red light cameras themselves, so they moved them around at intervals. Might be bs, but I have seen them a few times not go off for people. Don't quote me on that tho.

Heh, everyone smashes it through there. Bit of a tricky one with two sets of lights so close to each other.

Yeah i agree luckily i turn onto Alexander there to go to work ( Osb Park ). But because its a double set of lights everyone just nails it through both hoping they make it lol, if they put the cameras at both lights they would get tripple the amount of people.

pretty sure you will find that roads at that high a speed limit, with trucks of that size known to travel on them, will have those flashing yellow lights to let the trucks know to start slowing down. and arent trucks of that size meant to be speed limited to 100km/hr anyway?

majority of trucks run red lights due to not wanting to stop and then having to take 20 mins and go through 40 billion gears to get back up to speed

from what ive seen in there area you are correct that they have the amber lights but from the time of the light coming on to the distance to the lights i find isnt far enough ( for loaded trucks ) but this is just my opinion.

Without sounding silly, do these cameras detect the speeds for both roads intersecting the lights, or just the main one? i.e. in the case of Leach/Bungaree, where leach has a 70kph limit and Bungaree 50, will it ping you if you're going say 60 down Bungaree, but still under the Leach hwy 70?

Nah at least on leach the angles are set up for one direction only, which is why they are now installing a new camera on the opposite side of the intersection to get people both ways.

hmm but shouldnt a loaded truck be driving at a speed at which it can safely stop? not just doing 100km/hr due to that being the posted limit?

sort of the same as when it is raining... just because it is posted as 100km/hr doesnt mean that you should be doing that speed in a downpour

so i asked a page back what technology these use and the answer is lazer..

so lazer jammers work? but do lazer detectors work? would certainly be easier if alerted to every intersection that was being watch rather than memorising them all

i think iphones have got an app that does something similar to that, tells you where speed camera hot spots etc are. should just be able to just mark these on the map

Thanks for pointing that out. Thanks even more for your helpful answer to my question.

I understand it must have been difficult to grasp what i was asking due to my shocking spelling, I do apologise for any discomfort experienced whilst trying to decipher my question.

Due to the timing of the lights if youre on Alexander turning onto Morley Dve (from either direction) 99% of the time its actually quicker to go straight thru the lights you normally turn at and use the slip road just past them to double back, then turn off
