Speed traps and fines back online in Joburg and Pretoria

The City of Joburg and the City of Tshwane have warned Gauteng motorists that their speed cameras are up and running after not operating them for over a year and a half.

The Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) confirmed that its speeding cameras were operational in response to a question on Twitter.

Christmas box ‘23?

now replace them with average speed camera's, that's proper traffic calming devices

normal cameras are just revenue creation devices. They catch normal people not paying full attention. People who speed know where the camera's are, so it just creates dangerous speed fluctuations.

But Borro....

"When asked whether this meant its speed cameras were working again, the JMPD responded, “Yes”.

You have to admit.
They kept it Sweet 'n Short

 

[RaptorSA]

Yet another thing to be positive about.

It shouldn't be a revenue that's a conflict of interest

Now to clean up intersections where no one stops anymore and emergency lane driving.

Hope that all the cameras and other devices have all been calibrated and certified

“On New Year’s Day, the #JMPD High-Speed Unit arrested a total of 7 motorists for speeding,” it said.

How fast does JMPD's "High-Speed Unit" go, or do they only sit on their fat arses behind a camera?

Their GTIs and M140’s will definitely catch you if they want too.

So... no more 240km/h in a 60km/h zone? Are they bluffing? Anyone got a fine?
