Point-to-point speed cameras (or
average speed cameras) are a speed camera
system that uses at least two 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 two
points to calculate the average speed of the
vehicle: Speed = Distance/Time.
combined red light/speed cameras to be
introduced to Queensland in mid-2010
Combined red light/speed cameras are placed
at a signalised intersection and are able to
detect both failure to obey the red traffic
signal and illegal speeding. The speed
detection component of the camera can
operate on the red, yellow and green signal.
How many digital cameras are
being tested? Where will they be tested?
Seven cameras will be tested in locations
across South East Queensland. These will be:
two combined red light/speed cameras
Waterworks Road and Jubilee Terrace,
Ashgrove
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 point-to-point speed camera system
Bruce Highway, Caloundra Road to Wild Horse
Mountain, Beerburrum
one mobile speed camera (used at varying
locations).

Road user code of behaviour
Motorists
Motor vehicles are the fastest,
largest and heaviest users of the road.
In a crash, motor vehicles will cause
the most damage and pose the greatest
threat of injury or fatality.
Motorists should:
-
Be fair and remember
to treat other road users such as
cyclists and pedestrians with
respect and courtesy.
-
Obey traffic lights
and stop at pedestrian crossings
when pedestrians are using them.
-
Give way to
pedestrians when turning into a
street.
-
Always indicate
well in advance.
-
Give way to cyclists
and be patient. Only pass a bicycle
when it is safe and give them plenty
of room.
-
Look out for
cyclists when parking on the street
and opening car doors.
-
Never park on the
footpath. It is illegal and puts
pedestrians at risk by forcing them
to walk on the road. Fine $40.00
-
Take extra care at
night and in the wet. Watch out for
cyclists and pedestrians at night,
in low light and when it is raining.
They are difficult to see in these
conditions and may believe you have
seen them before you actually do
-
Always drive with
caution, especially around schools
and other places where children may
be walking or cycling. Children are
often unpredictable and can lack
road sense so slow down around
schools. Look out for children
emerging from between parked cars
and remember that they are shorter
and more difficult to see.
