Saw the same set up exiting Bolte bridge southbound to
Westgate link. Very unusual to see council "workers" there as they didn't seem to be doing anything (which is not unusual in itself) & everything there is new so doesn't need fixing !
Prior to this I passed a suspicious Falcon on Bolte who's non uniformed driver was talking on a radio & probably warning the "council workers" of our approach. As Citylink is normally infested with cops in SS Commodore's & on all sorts of bikes, discretion is normally excercised on theses routes & we passed through uneventfully.
In my entire 34 year riding career I have never seen a speed camera set up in a known accident black spot, they are always located where they will earn maximum revenue, like a long straight after a downhill run etc etc. My policy is to slow down a bit when passing ANY vehicle on the side of the road just in case.
Forewarned is forearmed !!
