Spotted Perth's 2nd Fixed Freeway Speed Camera
 
Southbound on the Kwinana Freeway, just past the City, where the speed limit goes back to 100Km/h, just before the Canning Highway.

The other one is Northbound Mitchell Freeway and the Karrinyup exit.

I know you shouldn't speed...... but it might help someone and remind them to drive within in the required parameters. :)

At least they can smile for the camera as they zoom past. :)

Some do. But the postal system alerts you to their presence 3 weeks after passing one.

Lots of random mobile cameras.
The operators vehicle hides in the tree's or parks in an adjacent road and the camera (on a long wire) pokes through the foliage or up again an electric pole, to hide it.

Sunday afternoon they are very common, to catch people on the way home from the weekend.

Over 7km's you get a fine of $75.00 and no points, after that it's 3 points and the fine goes up depending on the speed.

2o,ooo caught in the first 5 days of operation for the original camera.

The new one on the Kwinana Freeway is getting 115 per day.

Shall have to make sure I don't speed when I make it over then, although we are headed for Adelaide rather than Perth. Are speeding fines / points the same for every state?

Different. NSW will zap you double demerit points on holidays.

Double demerit points

Double demerit points apply for speeding, seatbelt and motorcycle helmet offences during all holiday periods such as long weekends, Christmas, New Year and Easter.

I was alleged to have been doing 7 kmph over which was adjusted to 4 kmph over in Victoria this month. Saturday morning, top of a hill I was driving up, sunny, hidden stealth camera officer. The only time I have recently thought 'Oh no, I'm going too fast' and I got zapped. Didn't know until I received it in the post and worked out from the details when and where it was.

You can never be too careful. One point and $176 fine (I kid you not). Converted that for my brother and that was 115 quid and 1 point for going 2.5 miles an hour over the limit (was a 60kmph area). It pays to keep an eye on your speedo..............
