Temporary Traffic Cameras?

They’re not cameras, they’re mind control transmitters.

I better dust off my tin foil hat then…..:)

I am stunned that they are able to be collected the next day….

Surely our youth have missed them…..

Maybe in preparation for the major road works expected at the Cotter Road and Streeton Drive intersection – the building of the new arterial road through the future housing development in Molonglo Valley is due to start soon I believe?

That’s the next disaster zone to avoid once the GDE/Glenloch Interchange mess is finally cleaned up.

This reminds me – last week I saw what looked like a camera (different to those above) on top of a street light on Isabella Drive, just before the Drakeford Drive round-about.

There’s one just near Curtin shops. On it is a sticker saying that they’re traffic counting cameras.

They put cameras like this up around the Pialligo intersections prior to doing all the work there.

I suspect that they are just recording traffic patterns. Perhaps there’s a redesign of that intersection coming.

It’s all part of the filming of a ‘thrilling’ new ‘reality’ television show called, “Canberra’s worst intersection near misses”, or “Canberra’s kookiest drivers”?

Or maybe the ACT Govt are looking for the best place to next cause untold traffic irritation once the GDE project is finally completed in 2055?

Alternatively, they are or are not linked and I should probably stop being a nosey jerk and let the po-po’s do their job. Actually, I’m gonna stick with the latter.

There’s nothing wrong watching whats going on. As soon as people bury their heads, things go downhill fast!

Mr President is due to visit next month, given their location between the Governor-General’s residence and the Prime Minister’s and Parliament House, you could take a good guess of why they’re there.

Looks like Barry O will be going from Parliament House to the Governer Generals…
