Default Camera on Welshpool RD

I notice there is a new camera at the intersection of sevenoak st and welshpool rd (there is another camera on the other side of the railway, I think that one is a crossing camera). It is painted grey and have two heads just like the dual speed/TCL camera. During the twenty seconds when I was turning right at the stop sign, it flashed three times, and there wasnt a train coming.

Is this camera one of the seventeen new dual speed/TCL camera?

Most probably is. Did you stop at the stop sign? Were you doing above the speed limit in that turn? If not, nothing to worry about I guess.

I was turn right from sevenoak st to welshpool rd, so I was fine.

This means they start to install the other 17 fixed cameras now, right?

I thought you were the resident expert on speed camera location

The news article said 30 more, not total 30 (17 more)

Quote:
Ms Fyfe said 12 other cameras should be operating by July 1. Police are considering installing 30 more. Dual speed and red light cameras will operate from July 1 at the following intersections:
  1. Riverside Dr & Barrack St, Perth
  2. Canning Highway and Riseley Street, Applecross
  3. Stirling Highway and Eric Street, Cottesloe
  4. Canning Highway and Douglas Avenue, South Perth
  5. Great Eastern Highway and Shepperton Road, Victoria Park
  6. Albany Highway and Leach Highway off ramp, Bentley
  7. Winterfold and Stock roads, Hilton
  8. Wanneroo and Beach roads, Balga
  9. Leach Highway and Bungaree Road, Wilson
  10. Beach Road and Mirrabooka Avenue, Balga
  11. Roe Highway and Kalamunda Road, High Wycombe
  12. Hepburn and Marmion avenues, Padbury
  13. Morley and Alexander drives, Dianella
The WAPOL website also only list the 13 above. Maybe they're in the process of installing and trialling the additional cameras.

Edit: It's good you brought this up, I now work in the Applecross area and pass #2 on the list daily, and never knew there was a camera there.

this article said there would be 30 cameras in total, but you could be right, because police are liars anyway.

Yeah, that one on either side of the train line on Welshpool Rd has been there about 6 months... and it is a dual speed and red light camera I believe. when I ride my road bike to work, I go past it and see someone get flashed nearly every time. I have a quiet laugh.

I guess we might have to put up an "unofficial" red light / speed camera list as it seems the government is going to be quite happy to install further cameras without official notification.
