After a year of watching and waiting, Canberra’s mobile phone detection cameras are about to strike.
Drivers snapped with a phone on their lap or in their hands by the overhead-mounted cameras will be issued an infringement and demerit points from Tuesday next week (20 February).
So i don’t think the setup here would work at traffic lights. The counter argument is that if you’re not moving when the light goes green you’re probably creating congestion in the network, when people get annoyed they become worst drivers and do stupid things like run reds (My personal most annoying traffic behaviour seen far too often in Canberra).
