Speed cameras on Hume freeway melbourne

[vivek67]

Just heard some bloke at work say that speed cameras on Hume freeway are Point to Point and that they calculate average speed between 2 cameras?

A bit worried now since yesterday's run upto Broadford. Wasn't speeding per say but did overtake a couple of slow buggers and that would push out my average slightly..

Read a few news articles as recent as September 2011 that they were turned off due to incorrect fines being issued since Oct last year. Anyone know if these have been turned on again?

I think they may have been turned back on......cos sptember was few months back....but if there is nothing to say thyey are back on then should be ok

Point to point systems are stoopid.

For eg

Speed sign is 80km/h and you travel a 5km distance from point a to b. This equal 3 mins 45 secs. 100km/hr over 5km = 3 mins

That leaves 45 secs for you to pull over & laugh at the point device.













Note: I dont condone speeding.

I think they are turned on and this was after the auditers report saying all cameras are good ,but you never know what they are doing as they dont know themselfs.

YEP. stupid, but they caught a lot of people.
The reason they got turned off this time, a lady got done at some sort of speed, that she could prove was not able to do in her car, must have worked, as we all know, they dont like to lose there money....

most of those camera;s are in a 110k speed limit anyway, so if u got the cruise control on at say 120, with speedo error ur prob ok. but u rode up, so that buggered that idea!!!!!

Had a chat to a friend this morn, was told the camera's are back on!!!
So be aware.
