On one freeway I drive on there are six fixed speed cameras plus mobile patrols.
Go over 65 mph and there will be a fine in the post....

So you have to careful where you squeeze the loud pedal on the ZL1

Brad: I do seriously feel your pain. AZ got rid of theirs while my home city of Chicago has become scamera central.

They can occasionally damage cars and the occupants when struck on the road.

There is one city in the US that has the Multanova 6F - Cedar Rapids, IA.

Most of the cameras here are Redflex or ATS.

Huh didn't know they had speed cameras in the states.

Yes, they do. For instance, there are many Phoenix area cities that have them (e.g. Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley). I have seen the mobile units in Phoenix, Prescott Valley and Scottsdale. Some of the red light cameras can be reporgrammed to do the "speed on green" function where it tracks your speed between the induction loops in the pavement. In short, no radar needed.

That Multanova 6F is a pretty nasty camera from what I have read about it. For instance, its radar has a vertical polarity that makes it very hard for most detectors to pick up until you are in the zone to get snapped. Couple that with the fact that the radar is low powered.

Chicago, on the other hand, is going full tilt with theirs. They are even putting them in school zones. IL already does photo radar in construction zones.

Plus, there are quite a few FL cities that may have them.

Yeah, they are pests down here. and can be quite dangerous on the roads (think of deers)

GM here even has a kangaroo crash test dummy for testing impact damage!

I live a fair way away from the salties, they are up North from me.

I live "Down South" in Australia in the forests.
Here's a picture taken about 3 miles from my House:

The main thing we have to worry about down here are Drop Bear dropping out of the trees on us.
(Plus the snakes and spiders of course)
