TZENU · 29-05-2008, 10:18 AM

Im not sure how much truth there is, but this is what i received through email..

Anyone able to confirm the accuracy of this??

Even though I am sure that no one here exceeds the posted speed limit, I thought you may like to know the following for information only.

The locations of the cameras on Eastlink are as follows:

WELLINGTON ROAD ROWVILLE OVERPASS BRIDGE BOTH DIRECTIONS 6 CAMERAS 3 IN EACH DIRECTION.
These camera's are mounted high up in the honeycomb design of the underbelly and special attention has been given that they not be seen from either direction.

GREENS ROAD DANDENONG OVERPASS BRIDGE BOTH DIRECTIONS 6 CAMERAS 3 IN EACH DIRECTION.
Conditions of installation same as above.

EASTLINK TUNNEL RINGWOOD 12 CAMERAS 6 EACH SIDE.
These cameras are located at station box B22 and can move on special slide rails that allow them to be moved forward or backwards between station Box B22 and B35. these are expected to raise the most revenue.

FRANKSTON FREEWAY TO GREENS ROAD OVERPASS DISTANCE 17 STRAIGHT KMS. (IDEAL DRAG STRIP)
This area is of major concern for the State Government, at this stage no legislation has been passed for the installation of cameras in either direction until you hit the Green Rd Bridge. Signs have been erected along this 17km strip that indicate 'Speed cameras operate in this area' in both directions but nothing is operating. The Government does not want to project itself as an immediate cash cow and as a result will not introduce them until next year at this stage.
They have placed into the road when the bitumen was poured, electronic trackers which are a new system of detection that works like the ones on the Geelong Freeway that measure you by Time Vs Speed. These are still being tested and measured for accuracy and efficiency.

It is possible that random mobile units may be deployed or hand held speed guns used as it is feared that this strip has become nick named the Dandy Dragstrip by the workers

Tolls and Cameras.... You just gotta love em!

Disgusting.

The newest and safest road made has already been labelled a "blackspot, deathtrap..."

Just hope there are no average speed cameras.

Also the Geelong Highway doesnt have average speed cameras like that post says. (I would know...)

Still, anything to make a buck.

What a joke.

The sooner that Brumby gets kicked out of office, the better.

Damn it looks like an awesome road for some roll-ons.

So there arent any average speed cameras set up on it?

Geelong Hwy dosnt either?

As long as they are unmanned electronic camera's how can they be trusted...all things have errors

I would rather more police on the road catching the real idiots than more cameras

Won't be much good, the speeders will be stopped at the usual Melbourne freeway bottlenecks anyway.
