Answers:
how much will a 13minute cab drive approximatly cost me?
Yes! Bloody dangerous too! There is one on the Parkway In Hayes Middlesex that does it all the time!Locking the snow chains on my tires?
Yes, I did 60 in reverse in a 30 MPH zone. The police sent me a cheque for £80On the carpool lane why cant you change lanes when its a double line?
nope impossible and if it does it wont count ... they have to measure between the lines ..hence those lines in the rd to measure your speed ..hence as well if your flashed once , again not valid as they can not predict your speedTraffic times etc... for Nashville?
No, it would be a safety hazard. They only flash when you have past them. Are you sure it wasn`t flashing someone coming in the opposite direction?why is it that on motorways in the uk roadworks ahead are given at three quarters of a mile?
yes it isIve been flashed a few times on the other side of the road its just to tell you your speeding but you wont get a ticket
yes they do flash you but you won't get a ticket.
slow down you naughty boy you might kill somebody
How can freeways detect when traffic is congested?
No - this is a radar error sometimes caused by reflection off moving or vibrating surface giving a false indication of excessive speed.how much snow does there have to be before king county metro bus cancels all service.?
Dutch company Gatsometer BV, founded by the 1950s rally driver Maurice Gatsonides, invented the first road-rule enforcement cameras. Gatsonides wished to better monitor his speed around the corners of a race track and came up with the device in order to improve his time around the circuit [1]. The company developed the first radar for use with road traffic, and is the world's largest supplier of speed camera systems. Because of this, in some countries speed cameras are sometimes referred to as "Gatsos". They are also sometimes referred to as "photo radar", even though many of them do not use radar.
The first systems introduced in the late 1960s used film cameras to take their pictures. From the late 1990s, digital cameras began to be introduced. Digital cameras can be fitted with a modem or other electronic interface to transfer images to a central processing location automatically, so they have advantages over film cameras in speed of issuing fines, and operational monitoring. However, film-based systems still generally provide superior image quality in the variety of lighting conditions encountered on roads, and in some jurisdictions are required by the courts due to the ease with which digital images may be modified. New film-based systems are still being sold.
how can freeways detect how congested the freeway is? just wondering...?
Vehicle-detection systems used in conjunction with road-rule enforcement cameras include the following:
* Piezo-electric strips - pressure-sensitive strips embedded in the roadway (a set distance apart if speed is to be measured - typically 1-3 metres).
* Doppler radar - a radio signal is directed at the vehicles and the change in frequency of the returned signal indicates the presence of a moving vehicle and the vehicle's speed.
* Loops - inductive loops embedded in the roadway detect the presence of vehicles, and with two loops a set distance apart vehicle speed can be measured.
* Laser - the time of flight of laser pulses is used to make a series of measurements of vehicle position, and from the series of measurements vehicle speed can be calculated.
* Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) systems that use a form of optical character recognition to read the vehicle's licence or registration plate.
Speed camera systems that measure the time taken by a vehicle to travel between two fairly distant sites (from several hundred metres to several hundred kilometres apart) are also being developed and introduced. From the elapsed time over the known distance, a speed infringement can be detected, or in the case of truck drivers driving long distances, avoidance of legally prescribed driver rest periods can be detected. Such systems take a picture of every vehicle passing the first site, and every vehicle passing the second, then find matches between the images from the two sites. Most commonly, this matching is done by using ANPR systems.
Is there a phone number to report dangerous driving?
a Grey* box?a gatso in the UK is usually yellow...there are a few with double cameras...........A yellow one which measures your speed, and - about 30 feet in front - a grey one one which takes a full frontal picture. There is a camera like this about 3 or 4 miles from where I live. If this is the case, you are totally farked, you cannot even claim that someone else was driving.
Yes it is possible, what you got flashed by was a speed camera that only contained a radar and a flash, it didn't have the camera unit in it. The dummy cameras have a radar that senses speed but bizarely cant figure out what direction you are travelling in, it merely flashes you and you have nothing to worry about, apart of course from having a bright light flashed in your eyes at night. Complain to your local council - its dangerous.
Can you recommend a Cheap Monthly Parking Garage in Queens or Manhattan?
It can flash you from behind if it is pointing in that directionBest areas to live and buy bio-deisel?
What happens is that the head of the camera sometimes become loose. This often happens after bad weather or someone has had a go at them :-)They use dopler effect radar to determine your speed, so if it is out of alignment and pointing at you and you are speeding it will flash at you.
Does People Backing into Parking Spaces Annoy Anybody Else?
The lines that are painted on the road act in a 2 tier way.
1. They are a visual deterent to prevent people speeding, as a lot of the cameras are actualy there for safety (even if like me you do hate them)
2. They can be used to coraberate evidence in the case of an apeal, because the 2 photo's contain time stamps and any one that studied basic arithmatic can work out speed from time and distance. The camera DOES not use them to determine your speed. It has already worked your speed out 200m before you hit the lines and is ready to take your picture as soon as you cross the lines. Though it does only record the speed that you were doing as you hit the lines.
Which City has the Worst Commute??
In Germany all the Gatso cameras are front facing and as far as I am concerned are a bigger hazard to safety than speeding alone.
Do you think school children will be allowed to drive car and scooter for there commuting to school?
So be rest assured that you will not be getting a ticket in the post.
