    This was issued from work and will be handy to keep in the memory bank.

    Hi All
    There will be 7 new speed camera locations being tested in the south-east corner over the coming weeks and if successful will be operational by mid 2010 and then will be rolled out through the rest of the state.   These will be:

     TWO COMBINED RED LIGHT/SPEED CAMERAS

     Cnr  Waterworks Road and Jubilee Terrace, Ashgrove

     

    Cnr  Beaudesert Road and Compton Road, Calamvale

     THREE SPOT FIXED SPEED CAMERAS

     

    Pacific Motorway, Loganholme

     

    Gateway Arterial Road, Nudgee

     

    Clem7 Tunnel, Woolloongabba to Bowen Hills

     

    ONE MOBILE SPEED CAMERA

     used at varying locations

     

    ONE POINT-TO- POINT SPEED CAMERA SYSTEM

     

    Bruce Highway, Caloundra Road to Wild Horse Mountain, Beerburrum

      

    A point-to-point (or average) speed camera system uses a number of cameras over a length of road to measure a vehicle's average speed. The system uses the time it takes for a vehicle to travel between the two points to calculate the average speed of the vehicle: Speed = Distance/Time.    Point-to-point speed camera systems use a number of cameras mounted at staged intervals along a particular route.

     Point-to-point camera systems, like fixed speed cameras, are monitoring traffic 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.    However, unlike current fixed speed cameras, point-to-point systems are not activated when a vehicle violates the speed limit at a given point in time measured by a speed detection device.    Rather, point-to-point camera systems apply a mathematical calculation based on the time it takes for a vehicle to travel from one camera to the next and the distance between the cameras.   The first length of road that the point-to-point speed camera system will cover is approximately 13km.

     

    Please exercise some common sense when driving particularly through these locations and avoid any infringements.   The new locations will be digital processors so if an infringement is detected the images are uploaded instantly to the infringements processing centre and you receive notification with 2-3 days.    Currently with the wet-film system these can take up to 4 weeks.
