Kozen Neutral Newbie March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 Was at Four Seasons Hotel this morning waiting for a friend from overseas, when I spotted this Traffic Police Officer on the overheadbridge setting up his camera and tripod. But instead of facing his camera towards Wheelock Place, to face oncoming traffic from Orchard MRT (Orchard Boulevard), he positioned his camera to face the opposite direction, facing the direction of Four Seasons Hotel instead. So now, when driving & you look up the overhead bridge to spot for TP camera, and seeing none, you speed up, only to have your REAR no. plate snapped when you drive past the overhead bridge!!! Now I know why those TP on overheadbridges on the PIE have suddenly disappeared. They have repositioned their cameras to face the opposite direction, the rear of your car!!! There are no signs stating the speed limit of Orchard Boulevard, so it means the speed limit on this wide 4 lane rd is 50km/h. It is very easy to exceed the legal speed limit if you are not careful. Beware and please drive carefully and adhere to speed limits. Wow....now they also like to scr** from behind hahaha..just like gay sia. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conservative Neutral Newbie March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 My contribution : On bridge on PIE towards Changi, around Simei/Tampines, the infamous stretch where speed limit changes from 90kmh change to 80 kmh. This CISCO crouching, camera set up low and shooting between the panels along the bridge, like a sniper...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falc 3rd Gear March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 Good enough, meaning u shouldnt exceed by 20kmh if you are to keep within the safety of a mere warning letter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icekitten Clutched March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 In the old days, whenever the motorists see speed traps/radar being employed, they would flashed their headlights to warn other motorists....... Looks like it's illegal to do that nowadays. Have la mostly taxis and buses who still do this. I encountered once along Upp Serangoon to Bendemeer. Opp direction had taxis flashing repeatedly. I thought why...then ahead saw a TP with cam on overhead bridge. My hubby also encountered once at night going from Hougang to Sengkang near the Florida condo. A bus flashed repeatedly and turned out there was a roadblock ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icekitten Clutched March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 I doubt so. Coz I don't think they can see you flashing also. Usually it's the vehicles going in the opp direction who've oredi passed and seen the TP on the bridge who flash to warn the vehicles approaching the TP.

Icekitten Clutched March 22, 2007 Share March 22, 2007 I think you must flash many times, not just once or twice...ppl will think you're flashing the car in front of you. That time the taxi I encountered flashed repeatedly like 3-4 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh Neutral Newbie March 23, 2007 Share March 23, 2007 Hmm, have also noticed they snap speeding cars not from front but the rear.Maybe the cameras are built to capture from the rear and not front. Juz like the speed camera mounted on expressways. Erm...I remember hearing some fellow forumers commenting that such speed cameras on the highway can do a 180 degree turn to catch speeders on each side of the road. U won't know which direction of the traffic the camera is actually tracking. So for me, I will be more observant about the speed of my car before and after the camera just to be safe. This applies for overhead bridges and suspicious looking roadside bushes as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarael Clutched March 23, 2007 Share March 23, 2007 i have also gotten one warning letter thus far.... i believe they only give warning letter if u have no existing demerit points and u only exceeded by 1-20 kmh...hmmm since apple cow got 2 warning letters then i got one more chance left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That time the taxi I encountered flashed repeatedly like 3-4 times. That's the problem.....with the many fark-up "Why the fark u flash me for? Let u see my middle finger!" kind of attitude found in many drivers, most will not bother to warn others when they see TP. I once slow down purposedly coz I saw one TP on the OHB but the car behind me think I'm blocking his lane and keep tailgating my back and showing angry faces.... 狗咬呂洞賓，不知好人心 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
