    speed camera question

    Man did they lower the speed that they go off at? I was on the 101 and got nabbed over by camelback. Well I think I was, I was doing 69-70 in the right lane and someone next to me was doing a little faster and it went off. I dont remember if he jammed on the brakes or not Anyways I always thought they were set for 10mph over the speed limit not 5mph! If it was the other car as I got off at mcdowell he got hit again

    Yea, those damn things really do suck. I thought they were set at like 11 mph, not 5! I was wondering if the ones on the 51 southbound are on yet or not. If they are, I think I got nabbed yesterday am on the way to the copperstate show.

    I'm not sure if they adjusted them for the speed limit, because with the construction on the 101 the speed limit has been 55 mph. So technically you where doing like 15 over. If thats the case hopefully they don't tag ya with speeding in a construction zone and double it.

    Keep us posted on what happens. Everything I have heard said that you don't trigger the Cameras unless you are going 10 over the limit. If it was lowered to 55 due to construction, Ouch! Assuming that the did reset the cameras to go off at 65+.

    The new ones they have set up on the Westside of 101 are a PIA, People are slowing down to 10 under the speed limit, to pass thru the Cameras. Somebody yaking on their Cell phone is liable to rearend the person in front of them.

    Good Luck

    yea i'll keep you posted cause there was no construction going on. I know last week they were doing construction in the area but there was none or signs posted out there. Im wondering if it is like they did last time they did a wave they set them at 5 over as a heads up and next week they will be up at the 11mph mark

    I know the best way to fix this problem:

    Sniper rifle - park on the side of the road about a half mile away and just take the damn camera out. After losing 5-6 cameras they will get the hint.

    I do not think those cameras have been adjusted for the construction so far. I've driven through them several times in the last month at 65-70mph after seeing others go through them faster and not get flashed, when I was only doing 60mph thinking they would be adjusted for the construction.

    I think I got nabbed by a mobile unit on I-10 last week. Don't know how many of those they have but I saw that stupid van 3 different places last week.
