NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[ghosthunter]

gh, kamusta na laser jammer mo?

Not useful on NLEX/SCTEX since they don't use laser speed guns. ;)

Handy when passing through Macapagal or Commonwealth (or SLEX).

oo nga pala sir GH, radar detector gamit sa NLEX. bakit pa magkaiba gamit nilang device?

[renzo_d10]

GH, pano mo nadedetect yung sa NLEX/SCTEX ? Meron ka different device aside from your Valentine One?

Kapag gabi nga hindi na masyado humahataw mga tao. Nakakainis lang kasi grabe hoggers ng overtaking lane kapag gabi. Ibahin ang madaling araw though, diyan marami.

I just have my Valentine One radar/laser detector. I also have a laser jammer system installed in my ride.

The Valentine One display shows the type and number of radar/laser signals as well as how strong the signals are (assuming it's not yet to alarm levels).

Dunno. Maybe simple price bidding lang or advantage of pinpoint aiming on specific "offending" cars. NLEX bought their radar speed guns earlier while the MMDA and SLEX people bought theirs only very recently.

I am assuming one of the reasons why they chose the laser speed guns is it is hard to "avoid" getting caught even if you have a laser detector. Although a laser/radar detector will sound the alarm if it senses a laser hit, it is usually too late to take any evasive action because it only takes a fraction of a second to measure your car's current speed & take a photo at the same time. There is also very little overflow emissions so vehicles (with detectors) farther away can sense the laser. Radars usually have a wider beam so it is easy to detect it even in excess of 1 or 2 km away (terrain dependent).

Hence, I have a laser jammer (instead of laser detector). Once the laser jammer detects a signal, it shoots back a signal to make the laser gun read "error". At same time, the laser jammer device will sound an alarm so the driver may take evasive action.

dati akala talaga namin walang naghuhuli sa SCTEX. Parang, pag sctex na wala kang aalahanin. pero isang araw nagulat nalang kami.... ngayon lagi ko ng nakikita yung white isuzu crosswind yata malapit sa concepcion exit sa taas ng overpass (un ba tawag dun?). tanong ko lang, meron bang nanghuhuli kapag gabi na o madaling araw and pag sunday? 24/7 ba sila?

Wala. Kasi hindi naman na gumagana speed guns nila pag gabi.

However, it's not advisable to go at high speeds at night either due to limited visibility. I recall before a husband and wife were killed in an accident on SCTEX as they failed to see a truck with poor/no lighting.

Saksakan ng dilim sa SCTEX sa gabi. Konti lang ang area na may street lights. Overspeeding in almost complete darkness is a stupid thing to do.

What they should've installed are those Cats Eyes (80s term?? hehehe!) that they have in the US. It serves 2 purposes:
- Lights up the road by reflecting whatever light comes into contact with it, so even without street lights, your headlights will be enough to show you the road ahead.
- Acts as rumble strips to remind you to keep in your lane in case you get drowsy and drift into the adjacent lane.

Yep, kaya naka-high beam lahat ng kasalubong. At syempre magha-high beam ka na rin.

Yup grabe dilim sa sctex. Naalala ko nung dumaan ako diyan ng 1am before, I was around 120kph that time then a Hyundai GC just zoomed right past through me. Few seconds, he was out of my sight. Hehehe. He must have been running twice my speed. Oh well, mas maliwanag naman hl's niya sakin.

Best time to run is around 5:30-6:30 AM - wala pang highway patrol, pero maliwanag na

I observed during the lastb2 holidays i went to Subic, last August and this new year that it seems that lax sila to enforce the speed limits as o observed a lot of cars going over 110 kmh but walang nahuhili

Sa SCTEX you can run up to 120 kph, although 100 kph ang maximum, pero makakatawad ka ng 20 kph, hindi ka pa hulihin, yon ang sabi sa akin ng enforcer na nakahuli sa akin noon. Kahit sa NLEX, ganon din, kapag nahuli ka, sa LTO main ang tubos ng license mo.

Nung isang araw sinama ko ang tatay ko umikot lang sa NLEX with the Accord V6 para lang mag "Italian tuneup". Saturday late morning yun. Takbo ay mostly nasa 110-160km/h. Hinahataw as much as possible given the traffic conditions. From A.Bonifacio tinakbo hanggang Marilao exit, wala namang nakitang nanghuhuli. In fact wala akong nakitang highway patrol vehicle with speed radar either sa tabi o sa mga overpass. Wala ring mga pumapara sa tollgate whether dun sa papunta at sa pabalik. May "office hours" ba ang mga taong to?

Nanghihiraman lang kasi sila. iilan lan speedgun nila. SCTEX, NLEX, SLEX, Macapagal, Commonwealth (startoll meron ba?), Skyway, me north & southbound or whatever bound pa yan. Hehe

Ang iba naman, "visual" ang approach, kapag obvious ka naman na over the limit huli ka pa rin - hanapan mo na lang ng evidence or challenge them kun sigurado kang hindi ka na speedgun. :p

Wala talagang radar on that stretch because that area is usually crowded with vehicles most of the time (where going beyond 100-120kph can be unsafe due to vehicle volume and number of trucks). Speeders on the northbound lane usually open it up between San Fernando and Angeles City so the radar vehicle usually stays in that area.

2500 pala ang huli nito.. tapos seminar pa.. buti nalang hindi pala ako nahuli last Jan 3 while bound to Subic sa SCTEX, nag 160kph ako dun sa isang mahabang stretch ng pababa dun then found an AUV parked beside, biglang slow down ako to 130kph.. buti at hindi ako hinuli(or tulog lang sila lol :D ) considering 100kph lang ang max pala.. then nung pauwi din.. dun sa same stretch nag180 naman kasabay ung starex na bago na ang tulin sobra parang di takot mamatay.. LOL

hindi ko na uulitin yan mahirap na mabutasan ng 2500 hehe

question naman guys, ung kapag nahuli ka ba ng overspeeding, may corresponding rate ba un? lets say nahuli ka ng overspeeding at 140 -160kph = 2500, then kapag 180-220 kph un takbo, magging 3000 ung multa kasi mas mabilis..? may ganung rule po ba?

+1. Sa mahal ng toll dun eh di man lang nila malagyan lagyan.

On our recent trip to Baguio while driving at SCTEX at 4am may naabutan akong previous gen Vios na bulag isang headlight. Naawa ako kasi sobrang dilim talaga, sinabayan ko ng takbo. Nung binilisan ko konti sumabay rin sya.

Diba? Andami rin namang unlit freeways sa kanila, winding roads with ups and downs pa, pero with the reflectors there you don't need the street lights. Tapos, no cost of operation. Sa mahal nila sumingil, nasagot na yung cost of installation!

What I liked about the Cats Eye-lined freeways was that you did feel safe coz you knew your boundaries. Since I drove to and from my friend's place at night before which was 1 hour 1 way, I thought it was just a regular highway. When I drove it the next time out with a bit more light, grabe, bundok pala yung dinadaanan ko! Hahaha!

Hehehe! Vios got the drift. Besides, it was probably lonely being left in the dark.
