"Other new fixed-camera initiatives are also due to be launched on Hume Highway, Geelong Rd and West Gate Freeway in the coming months. Up to 30 cameras that measure motorists' speeds between two points, as well as on the spot, are to start operating soon on the Hume. There will be five banks of cameras across two-to-three northbound lanes and another five banks on the southbound carriageway. The cameras are due to be approved in the spring session of Parliament. On Geelong Rd (Princes Freeway), about 24 standard speed cameras are set to become operational within months. The cameras will operate in eight banks – four eastbound and four westbound." My concern is that as a Victorian resident contributing to state taxes and revenue, I'd like to see the books open and the present goverenment show transparency to me and joe citizen that our hard earned dollars are yielding good investment. There;s so much revenue we can suck from the local market, so I hope our attention is now focusing on interstaters and foreign visitors. vifer '97 vfr750 (Why is the goverment incensed that speeding alone is to blame for the road carnage? ) - Surrendering a credit card imprint or bank debit details to cover road debt before you pick up your registration label is probably closer than we think. -
