I thought it might be a good idea to post up the locations you spot speed cameras.

We all know about the fixed cameras on the Tasman Bridge. Its those pesky mobile units that get most of us.

So if you see a speed camera or know of any red light cameras, post it up here and let everyone know the location.

Tasmanian Police Scanner (legal)

Open with a program such as VLC media player (recommended) or Winamp, WMP etc.

the only prob with this thread is they don't really hang around in those spots for a long time... some spots i could surgest where i OFTEN see them setup time after time is:

**Bottom of cleary's gates (just after that big sweeper of a corner) behind that big bush,
**Bottom of Melafont street,
**Southern Outlet (often behind the rails at numerous locations) towards kingo end
**Berridale near Granada Tav
**Brooker out near Granton turn off's
**Austins Ferry Near St. Virgils College
**South Hobart near St Johns or Cascade Brewery

there are a few spots i often really slow down in and usually often spot those mobile bastards hiding around these spots!!!!

Actually Nick they cant put them behind the rails due to the metal causing interference with the speed sensing equipment.

They are usually on the right hand side between Albion Heights and Mt Nelson (City bound), also occasionally 100m up the road from here in the bushes, on the left hand side in the bushes where it flattens out about halfway between Mt Nelson and Kingston (Kingston bound), and in the clearing on the left hand side further towards Kingo (also Kingston bound).

i have seen them park in the bushes near the rails, maybe that was jsut some despo couple who couldn't wait to get home

Yeah they park near the rails but the actual camera is usually set up a few meters away.

I actually spotted one last year on Churchill Ave above Coolabah Rd on the FOOTPATH!!

-There is one famous one at rokeby, when your coming into rokeby from howrah way its just passed the first school crossing or just passed the youth (young crims) centre if your coming the other way.
White van with blacked out windows and lately they've been using a black subaru forester as well.
Everyone that lives south of rokeby would know this camera.

-Occasionally there is also a bike cop with a speed gun a little further north up the road just before the hill.

-Also coming into howrah via the mornington-howrah highway, there is apparently sometimes a gun there and they'll get ya at the 100 - 80 speed zone change.

There is often one as you head out of Sorrell (towards Port Arthur)..

I've also seen one sitting inbetween the two lanes heading into the airport round about where it changes from 110 to 80...

i've asked my dad who is a lawyer about this and i think i remember him saying that they can put a camera where ever they want but they usually don't position them at least 200M before or 200m after a speed change sign, to give u time to slow/speed up
this is because this type of arguement has been fought in caught and people have been let off numerous numbers of times because of it being rediculous to pin people for speeding just after the sign changes!

i live like 500m away and go that way most day never ever seen a speed camera there in my life and ive lived here for 11 years.
always see them setting up near rosetta high and mary's hope rd.

-Jord

Beach Road, Kingston, they often put them in the carpark next door to the Child Care Centre and the Kindergarten, just under that bush as the speed limit goes from 50km - 40km.

Permanent one hooked up under the over pass on bathurst street just past the brisbane St intersection. going past LC. =)

at leas i think its a speed camera. maybe just a traffic cam

all long the brooker over the road from rosetta and be hind the bushes a bit further up

behind the bushes in between the lanes after the mornington turn off going to the airport

one at the bottom of spring hill behind the trees

one just near bowen road high way both sides

there is to many to list

top of otago bay hill, and sometimes down the bottom

the bottom of the southern outlet heading towards kingston there is often a gold coloured Pajero 4 wheel drive with its indicator on just up the hill it has a speed camera mounted in the back of it. it can look like someone has just pulled over to talk on their phone and has their indicator on so watch out for that one

hey has any body seen the guy who sits in a goldish patrol or landcrusier type thing some times on the brooker. pased rosetta high in both directions some times.

he sits in there with a hand held not sure if its a speed camera or not. it has slightly tinted windows

i normally see him at the bottom of the hill faceing up the brooker before the claremont turn off.

churchill ave just outside the school zone there all the time!

was one at end of bowen bridge today

So whats the go with Tassie speed cameras? They sound like cheeky pricks!

In NSW the speed camera's have to be signposted (both fixed and mobile), and they are in a marked car.
And in QLD (i live on the border) the camera cars aren't signposted but they have the police markings on them.

Would be handy to know what tricks the cops use with speed cameras when im down that way later in the year!!

It's a red-light camera, i know from experiance

Pitcairn street glenorchy/Montrose.
they love it there.

near the deck heading out claremont way on the left in da bushes

There is a speed camera on Albert Road Moonah at the moment, getting people heading towards Main Road just after the NEW Bowen Road roundy.

On Olinda Grove you mean?

thats the one...

it mt nelson road just a few hundred metres up on the same road but nelson continues down towards the bends....

but u knew what i meant

ATTN: Kingo people:

do they often have cameras on the souther outl? i travel that route to work each day and stick to the limit, but just wondering if they have cameras there often? i never see them, if so where do they hide them?
either direction ?

spotted one today just along near the dec on the side headin towards clarmont in someones back yard behind a bush spotted it in my rear view mirror! there was ment to b another one on there to somewhere...

There's about 8 different locations along Southern Outlet, both ways, so watch the speeding. Also once off of southern outlet if heading Kingo beach way, there's always cameras along Beach Road just after the traffic lights which fork off to Auburn Rd, I've been done twice there, friggin 50 zone. Think I would learn after living there most of my life.

watch on the block in hobart, cops on bikes with mobile radars is on the go!

about 11:15 cop in car with mobile gun, 2x in kingo around the corner from the BP on the way to the round about...
yesturday they where at tolmans

there is sometimes one halfway down the huon highway from the leslie vale turn off. on the left heading into kingston; camera on the bank with the x-trail behind some trees

Hill Street in West Hobart. 100m down from Hill Street Grocer towards town.

Found out it was there the hard way.

park street in north hobart heading towards town...they are allways there in the mornings... he has a name he is there that often but i cant remember it

Cleary's gates is a place to watch

When i actually lost my licence i noticed there was a maked car then bout a few more seconds up the road keeping its distace was a Unmarked car with a hand held Speedo which caught me this was on Gordan's HIll Road in lindisfarne. 5-0 Suck

look out for a triton too, gets around town, bout a 95 model.
my cousin got done by it last week. full of coppers.

a triton???
my mate got done by some out-of-uniform coppers at hungry jacks on tuesday.......he sorta deserved it tho...he racked up quite an impressive list in the space of 5 minutes

yeh i saw some olod ute with lights in the front.....pulled some one over i was like WTF sneaky pigs

Yeah saw them there today. Actually just INSIDE the school zone at both ends, shooting cars in both directions. Saw a few pulled over too... Bastards!

pitcairn st. in motrose again today

keep seeing cop cars in the shadows at night with the lights out....

just my opinion, but wouldn't people be more behaved if they new that there was a cop there instead of them hiding to catch people off-guard???
i mean its like in class at primary school, when the teacher is there, every1 is behaved, but when the teacher leaves the room, every1 does what they want... i know they'll never change the way the do things(the bastard government wont pass up an opportunity at revenue-raising), but i just think that it would be better.....

So, then its alright for people to not behave when they know police aren't about?

I saw a couple of cops sitting in a car with speed gun in the main street of Orford the other day, which i thought was funny.

i'm not saying that its ok... i'm just saying that it would be a more effective way 2 keep people from speeding... because i mean, there is always the risk of having an accident, but the main worry (for me anyway) about speeding, is getting done by the cops. i am aware that that is the wrong attitude to have about speeding, but it is true, thats what most people are like.
