georgemandm Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Driving through Khan knon yesterday and seen they have red light cameras as will as speed cameras now . So it looks like it will not be long before it is all over thailand. so if you are driving through Knan Knon keep your eyes open and slow down . I never speed in thailand when driving and never go through red lights. have signs before you come to those lights so you should be ok if you keep to the laws of the road.

robblok Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I can understand people hating speed camera's though I try not to speed it happens. Given the amount of money you have to pay for a bill its not a problem. Besides I don't often speed. Red light camera's they should install everywhere they are a major road safety tool.

KittenKong Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 If they installed idiot cameras the fines levied every day would be enormous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Knan Knon? Many cameras in Khon Kaen if you mean that and tons of warning signs with max. speed 80 or 60. AND: even where there are no warning signs there might be cameras. Our district town is full of cameras at the major intersections. Jump the light and you will find a letter in the mailbox with a nice picture of your cars back. You won't notice a flash or whatever, so the surprise is complete.

From Khon Kaen, similar all over the country: I as a falang welcome this, however lets not forget that there are people out there that drive without number plates, I dare say stricter enforcement's in that area and many others will help to make people abide, back in Sydney I would stress to stay under the limit, because not only did you have speed and red light cameras, you had mobile speed cameras in unmarked stationary cars with the blue sign just after the car had taken your photo.

Deepinthailand Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 And whilst driving down highway 2 in khon kaen doing 80kmh going under the tesco lotus fixed bank of speeding cameras I'm the slowest car there. I have no idea if they are just for show but no one (exept me and maybe a few others) take a blind bit of notice of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that the thai government would not put them in and not have them working , I would say they all would be working by now. And when the thai government see how much money there is to be made from speeding cameras and red light cameras it will not be long before all of thailand has then , that is how it started back home in Australia some 30 years ago .

Thanyaburi Mac Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Good timing on this thread as I just sent an email to friends around the world. The ticket from the camera is a first for me. FYI, I've been traveling that road since 1970! Mac Took a month to get here from Khon Kaen's Nam Phong District Traffic Police. Ticket says violation was at 1231 hrs 22 August at the 3-way intersection for the Ubolrat Dam, just a few km south of Nam Phong. Busting a red light. I probably ran the yellow is what happened. But, wonder if I went back there and took it to the local court, beatable? According to my Trip Log, looks like I would have gone through that intersection about the same time, but on Sunday the 21st, not the 22nd like the ticket says. Nah, I'm to busy to bother with it, it's about five hours plus from Klong 10 to Nam Phone and I'd probably spend twice the baht 800 fine on diesel. Handy, tho, can pay via Money Order rather than personal appearance. Mac Trip Log, 21-27 August 2016 21 August, Sunday With Sunee -- 0650, ex Klong 10 -- 0755-0810, PTT Kaeng Khoi, 76 km -- 0825 hrs, pass Muak Lek, 104 km -- 0930-0945 hrs, PTT Korat Ring Road, 222 km -- 1200 hrs, pass BigC Khon Kaen, 424 km, no parking, carnival -- 1210-1220 hrs, PTT Khon Kaen, 432 km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red light camera's are working have been for some time I was talking about the normal speed camera's on highway 2 by tesco lotus. Not to sure if those work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
