yeah I think they just say it's a normal camera, in reality, it's just a fixed speed camera (another one added to the 30 odd we have already) and it will be active 100% of the time!

Best deterrent is a cop actually pulling you over and telling you you're a naughty boy.
I agree, nothing like police presense!

Nice photos but I find the 6km range hard to believe.

Those "You have just passed a Speed Camera" signs are still sometimes used, but carefully placed about 400m past the camera and about 50m from the road behind a bush/tree/rock.

For those of you caught by the new beastie, and there is about 20,000 of you, fines are to start tomorrow (Friday) along with double demerits.

Those 12 caught 45km/hr over, may not be so lucky.
