Default VIC Camera location map

Hope this is not repost, couldn't find it with a search:

http://www.justice.vic.gov.au/roadsafety

Only surprise for me is the tolerances are finally stated, seems very tight compared to UK where its something like 10% + 3MPH.


Quote:
"In Victoria, police set a threshold speed at which the camera will capture speeding drivers. A legislative tolerance is automatically deducted from the detected speed of every vehicle found exceeding this threshold speed.
This tolerance deducts two km/hr from a vehicle's detected speed for fixed digital safety cameras or three km/hr (or three per cent for speeds over 100km/hr) from a vehicle's detected speed for mobile cameras.
For example, if you receive an infringement notice from a mobile camera saying you have an alleged speed of 66km/hr and a detected speed of 69 km/hr, it means that you were actually caught travelling at 69km/hr. However, because of the three km/hr tolerance, your speed, for the sake of the infringement, is the alleged speed of 66km/hr.
Please note: This legislative tolerance does not apply to speed readings measured by the Hume Highway point-to-point system."



There is also a mention of a secondary speed verification that must be in place for fixed cameras, imo this should be in place for mobile ones as well, three km/h tolerance on a mobile camera with an infinite number of variables is not a huge amount different to the fixed camera, where only variables are weather and time of day. But maybes I'm just f** off with the tickets I get for 65km/h.
