Police Radars

[Dave]

Some good info there Dave, however, the technology has been in use her in Aus for many years. They are called Safety Cams, and are used to track heavy vehicles and trip times. Every heavy vehicle that passes the camera has a picture taken of their number plate for the purpose you mentioned. Late at night, when there is light traffic, they take a pic of Every vehicle regardless of size. The nearest one to the Gold Coast is at Chindera, just over the NSW border.

As for the Distance Between Cars you mentioned, that is a feature of the newest model of Unltralyte2020 handheld Lidar, specifically the UX series. It has the ability, via some extremely clever software, to calculate the distance between two vehicles as they travel along a road. No widely in use yet as, I think, the legislation is still trying to catch up.

Gruntmax, you don't honestly believe all that drivel do you? If so, I have the bargain of a lifetime for you, a mate is selling this bridge in Sydney.........

Diablo,
Safety cams are very visible as you need to pass directly under a bridge structure mounted with them, where as these cameras are housed in cylinder of appox 4" diameter x 2' long and are located off to the side of the road, say in the centre medium strip/divider section mounted high on existing utility poles, first glance they look like a neon sign light. Unlike other static fixed speed cameras and portable multinova speed camera that are most of the time visible, these suckers are virtually impossible to spot if you are speeding. Both the Victorian and NSW governments will reap millions more in the name of road safety.
