Can someone post a pic so I'd know how these look like?

Mas ok pa kng fix kasi you'll know kng saan naka station ang mga ito, I'll be on a look out of those that carry speed guns.

Northbound, there is one before San Fernando exit (maybe around 4 km before) and another one just before the Mexico exit.

This is a bit weird, I thought we don't condone speeding or atleast we promote responsible driving here...

Anyway, just for the sake of Q&A, di pa operational ang pole mounted speed cams. It's still on testing/calibration stage.

They still use the good old car mounted speed cams and hidden bunkers

I totally agree, let's promote responsible driving. I believe that the speed traps' location is more of a driving campaign for us to be mindful of our speed.

I just hope that we can also educate those guys who are running at 80kph and below to "stay away" from the fast lane.

That's the good thing about these pole-mounted speed cameras - whether they're working or not, their mere presence already hinders people from speeding.

Imagine that strectch from Plaridel to Marilao, that's 20 km riddled with speed cams. No point speeding in between because you'll have to slow down anyway.

That's how it works in European highways as well - fill the highway with cameras, some working and some decoy (to save on cost). People will err on the safe side and assume all are working so they keep to the speed limit for the entire stretch.

Btw since you seem to have info on NLEX operations, assuming that they get the fixed speed cams to work, how will speeders know that they've been apprehended? Will it be monitored by a person and then flagged at the tollgate (like how they do now) or will it be a no-contact apprehension? If it's the latter, how will the speeder receive notification that he has already been charged with a speeding violation?

I don't think the LTO has personal records (phone number, email) that are tagged to the plate number. And even if they did, it could be a different person driving the car at the time of apprehension.

If the violation will be charged upon renewal, then the car owner has no way of tracking how many times he's been tagged and will only find out upon renewal of registration, upon which it's possible that he's over the limit of allowable offenses (is this even upheld to this day?)

2 decades ago, us road authorities were already installing traffic officer cardboard, plastic or wooden 2-D figures and placing them at the side of the roads, with a written warning.
some of them had a camera...

[Egan101]

Those pole cameras are quite effective in deterring motorists from speeding. In my last trip up north, vehicles approaching the Mexico exit have been doing only 100 kmh or less. Some even have not bothered to speed up even after passing the pole cameras. I guess it scared the heck out of motorists since the camera flashes every now and then.

I'm not in favor of non-contact apprehension. It should be the driver who should pay for the penalty and not the owner. Of course, the owner has the responsibility in the end just like in bus companies that the company is liable. The operator can fire his irresponsible driver.

However, this is not the case for private vehicles. One or two of your relatives can be speeding without you knowing it and you suffer for the consequences of their actions. I don't think you can "fire" them.

We actually do the calibration for the nlex and sctex speed guns, but I have no info on the mounted ones. Never even bothered to ask the nlex and sctex guys the location of these cameras. I wouldn't want them to make the wrong impression.

My daily route is NLEX. I noticed these fixed-mounted speed cameras (southbound before Petron balagtas and near marilao exit) only capture above 115kph actual speed. 110 is 'acceptable'.

I've been pushing it to 120 ever since. I think 120 is the consensus when it comes to maximum allowable speed.

Effective naba sa NLEX no contact apprehension for over speeding?

Is there such a thing? When they tag you speeding by their enforcers, you will be apprehended at the toll booth.

I still see them apprehending vehicles at the Marilao Toll gate every now and then.

[3GEMS]

Thought i read somewhere about no-contact apprehension will be implemented in Nlex few months back.

Regarding rules on Nlex. I remeber 2-3 months ago while traversing Nlex. This one truck used the left most lane to overtake another truck, 20 mins past i was side by side by same truck and it was pulled over by nlex patrol. It think trucks are not allowed to use the left most lane in NLEx and its good to know they're strict about it. Kudos to the management of Nlex.

Mga bossing bago lang po ako dito. Nag pa-parts out po kami ng mga units at ilang units narin po ang lumagpas sa amin dahil nasa parteng metro manila/cavite ang mga seller. Tanong ko lang po sana kung pwede po ba lumusot sa SLEX kapag may hila-hilang sasakyan? Kailangan po ba ay may trailer or hindi po talaga pwede in general? Maraming salamat po!

A bunch of eager beavers caught speeding on SCTEX this morning:



Speaking of speeding tickets, I recently tried out a radar detector on NLEX/SCTEX/TPLEX - it didn't detect anything.

The NLEX fixed speed cameras are probably dummies, and there were no SCTEX speeding operations that day.
