The argument could be that there has been a few accidents people coming off the freeway onto heatherton rd. How about looking at the design of the intersection first. These cameras will just cause more accidents. I would love to see if accidents have been reduced at intersections with cameras installed.Bloody joke.

They go nuts with all these cameras. Bloody bastards. Here is what I spotted yesterday on Williamstown Rd in Port Melbourne. It was a speed camera on a tripod, that can be hooked to a towbar. Today it was gone, so I'm not sure what's the deal with these fixed mobile cameras.http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/uploads/monthly_07_2010/post-25478-1280317130_thumb.jpgSmells like revolution and I reckon people will start to destroy this things. A lot of people are furious over whats going on with these cameras but our government can't stop bending us over again and again and again.

They are there only to suck out our damn hard earned dollars. Edited 07/08/10 08:56 AM by Auscraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
