Default Western Ringroad Speed Camera Update

I noticed yesterday coming home that the speed cameras on the ringroad are missing. Does anyone know whether they are being upgraded to the same type as on the Princess? If they are....well...our trips might take a touch longer now...

Yeah the revenue raisers are putting up big ugly Gatso-style cameras. Quite a few have gone up this week.

I don't know. I know the camera locations, so I probably just thought that they were still there and never looked up to see it was only the brackets! Lol! As if brackets alone will issue speeding fines! Lol!

Driving through ring road yesterday and there are new cameras altona bound in the first two original locations.

Yes they are big Gatso style cameras. Big rectangular boxes with two little circular holes, one bigger than the other in one corner, and still coloured the same colour as the bridges they are perched on to blend in chameleon styles.

Hopefully they are not D/T and hopefulyy they weren't on yesterday. The rest are still just brackets with a jumble of wires hanging off them.
