I do not work for a photo enforcement company, nor am I moronic. I am someone that has lost someone who was killed while working on the side of the road in a construction work site. This was back in the 1980's and due to death's like that the laws have slowly come around to help protect the workers that help make our road safe and reliable.

People like you that get a hard-on for bucking the system are whats wrong with society today.

@Mr500xl Sorry that that happend, however it just affirms my point that the camera should be before the workers to possibly slow a vehicle down. Not 100 yards from the end of the zone where there is no work going on. Plus if a vehicle was speeding, the camera operator is not going to jump out and stop it. It just takes a picture, so there is really nothing safe about them. That's why police officers should be doing enforcement if it is necessary not machines.

Previously heard a story from a friend whom now deceased, via third party, that was talking about aiming photo camera lenses with a 10$ laser pointer during daylight hours, in securing to affixed object. Need red sunglasses to see laser beam in daylight, similar to red sun glasses that carpenters use when working with rotating laser levels in daylight hours; though red beam visible at night. Investigators covertly uses similar laser beams that picks-up audio off windows/windshields; go figure.

Were you still in the construction zone? ... Yes.

Was the construction zone posted at 60km until the end? ...Yes.

Is it fair that you should get a ticket if speeding at anytime with in a construction zone?... Yes.

Would you give the same advice to someone for a school zone or playground zone? Is it OK to start to speed up past the posted 30km because you can see the end of the school zone? Of course not... same rules apply for construction zones.

@Mr500xl Which photo enforcement company do you work for? Obviously you do or you are just that moronic.....really?

[CR8VDO]

You get the government you deserve.

[TrafficTicketGuru]

@CR8VDO I didn't vote for them!

[Iggy4MVP]

How hard is it. Don't speed - Don't get a ticket. Who cares where the cameras are.

[TrafficTicketGuru]

@Iggy4MVP Ok.....and which camera company pays you to make stupid comments

[birston73]

i just got a 500 find at the same spot no workers bs

[cocacolacollecter]

I did the same , videotaped a speed enforcement unit, when doing so, winnipeg police showed up , demanding to know who I was, I was not driving I may add. theu grabbed my camera and placed me under arrest for obstruction of a peace officer by intimidation by videoing them

[patwhite010101]

People just need to slow down.... have patience..... Wait until the construction actually ends before speeding up. Its not hard, people aren't being picked on, just follow the rules.

[TrafficTicketGuru]

@patwhite010101 Do you work for the same camera company as Iggy?

[southwestmark]

this is unbelieveable. There were TONS of clear signs, as you mention. TONS of pylons, a truck with flashing amber lights. It was clearly a work zone. They didn't set up the radar at the beginning of the zone where you might not have slowed down yet, but near the end. QUIT WHINING. You have no sense of responsibility to the workers or the speed laws. Get a life.

[TrafficTicketGuru]

@southwestmark Yeah except the truck was a private salting vehicle goiong to different parking lots.....hence it turning off.......the work was finnished there, why wasn't the unit back where the construction was and the workers.....get a life, quit working for camera companies. Yeah why put it at the beginning to protect the workers as opposed to the end to protect the speed increase sign. Get a life dude!
