Mounted average-speed cameras on motorways

[Max Preload]

There have been several pieces of footage shown on television programmes, "Motorway Patrol" being one of them. Footage from CCTV cameras was used.
How did this happen if they are not recording?

I can't say I've ever seen any such footage, but then I'm not much of a TV watcher.

Your opinion isn't fact - it's just your opinion. I know who I believe.

ok, in this instance, my statement(not opinion) is FACT, me = L2/3p STMS, as in one of the guys in the yellow vests who looks after roadworks sites, we get sent pictures, and videos, via email, from the aforementioned camera's whenever any of our staff are caught doing things that they shouldn't be, ie, working behind the attenuators, etc.

I don't know how much simpler to put it? The networks cameras use recorded information for more than just training. What don't you understand?

"None of the cameras make recordings (apart from some brief footage for training). The argument is that traffic management does not require recording and that law enforcement is not the centre's role."

The Traffic Management Centre's manager, Simon Gough, a roading engineer, says at present the unit is doing a "damn good job".

But he concedes that what he thought would be a short-term project keeps expanding as the technology improves.


That article was back in 2005. Things change.

I hope and pray they will never come to NZ. In no way are they safe...like original post says, you spent more time focusing on your speed than what your doing. If memory serves correctly they have these dotted around the motorway in sicily too, and they are a pain in the ass!!!! If the correct speed isnt sign posted then you get screwed. Thankfully i think doing it in NZ would be more trouble than it would be worth, and there will always be quieter country roads that will remian camera free!!!!
