Speed Camera Spotted

[N47HAN]

Hi guys , just a heads up for you all.

Spotted the first speed camera up and running this morning .

Its located about half way down the bypass road heading south from the Toyota Pearl Garage.

Lets see how soon we can locate them all

[eezergood]

Probably by the weekend

[nedkellylives]

What is the speed limit on that section of road

People seem to drive there anything from 75 to 130 KPH

The limit is as fast as your vehicle allows!!

Well thats what most folk do

[LivinginKata]

I have always assumed the speed limit is 90 kph on the bypass. Although it has previously been suggested as it's in the urban area it should be 60 kph.

[N47HAN]

Lik your correct , 90kmh is the speed limit on that stretch of road.

[nedkellylives]

Is the speed camera portable or fixed, where i come from they are portable and locations are changed several times a day

[N47HAN]

Fixed , its attached to one of the overhead signs that cross the road

This is not problem. The cameras will work at every speed!

They are front pic...that way a pic of driver is included...[got one in Oz once with mia noi driving me in my car....wife was very impressed!!]

[steelepulse]

I drove to the airport this morning and passed that area around 6:15 and all cars were doing about 100-110, so we'll see if it's working yet as from what I recall reading, they were being installed but weren't operational yet.

Most windscreens here are so dark you can't see the driver anyway.

[simon43]

I already claimed the first camera spotted about 5 days ago On the main road in Thalang, northbound, just by the main Muang Mai school

Thought there was some regulation passed a few years ago to limit the 'darkness' of the windscreen film.

Yes its similar to the regulation about pirated DVD's & the wearing of motorcycle helmets.........

[IrishIvan]

There is one on Wiset road, Just past friendship beach going down into Rawaii

[Somtamnication]

Yep, time to darken my windshield.

[Africanteacher]

I'm especially keen to know how they will sort this out with the amount of tourists and unregistered motor vehicles on the island.

Mud on plate?.....

CHECK

[IrishIvan]

Mud on plate?.....

 

CHECK

Hairspray is the standard anti camera solution. I think also you can get plastic covers for the plates that reflect the flash. I will have to check ebay and invest in some

[hansgruber]

Stick a plastic bag over the front plate. Just say it got stuck whilst driving around.

So much rubbish around its plausible.

Got hit for 200 the other day. My cowcatcher bars were obscuring Udon Thani on the number plate so obscuring the plate may not wash. P.

Better take your front license plate of as well

[steelepulse]

What are they going to do with all the motorbikes that have no plates at all? There's a few cars around that also don't have indentifying plates.
