not me I can't even speak Spanish

Kind of but they're not ones for giving you points on your licence - see here Trafficmaster To further clarify, the cameras on the coast road that will get you points are the Yellow Truvello cameras. The CCTV type cameras which are new and have only appeared in the last couple of months are CCTV and DO NOT measure speed. They are to monitor the flow of traffic coming out of the city centre. They could however be linked to the police national computer and dvla and have a look to see who's driving with no road tax as they will be able to record the number plates. Thats why in the document bobbyshinton posted it mentions that these cameras are "High Quality" CCTV - so they can record number plates. Panic Over Did you post that from Starburst 1? Beep Bop Boop Think he's Brains side kick off Thunderbirds Bleh - your all just jelous of the size of my chopper. Thanks

cheers mate

Two gay men decide that they want to have a baby, but they don't want to adopt because they want the baby to be as close to their own as possible. So they both masturbate into a cup and have a doctor use their sperm to impregnate a female friend of theirs. Nine months later, the two gays are looking at their baby in the hospital nursery. All of the babies are crying and screaming except for theirs. "Wow," one of the gay men says, "Our baby is the most well behaved one in here." A nurse who happens to be walking by says, "Now he's quiet, but wait . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . till we take the dummy out of his arse."

How long have you been driving without a tail light?" asked the policeman after pulling over a motorist. The driver jumped out, ran to the rear of his car, and gave a long, painful groan. He seemed so upset that the copper was moved to ease up on him a bit. "Come on, now," he said, "you don't have to take it so hard. It isn't that serious." "It isn't?" cried the motorist. " . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Then you know what happened to my fucking caravan?"

Traffic Island Trent boy I did think that. Only it isn't a traffic island and it isn't three miles off the North East coast. Apart from that though. I'm an artist work with me

Traffic Island Trent boy

We (I) seem to be at cross purposes here. The camera that you posted a picture of has been there for at least a year. Those two are definatley speed cameras. When the smooth man said new cameras I thought he was indeed referrring to the new cameras which have been recently installed on the coast road some situated by the slip road onto Benfield road and some on the slip road approaching wills factory this are congestion cameras. Billy Mill name a large island 3 miles of the north easy coast? 5, 4 and 10 letters . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . Billy Mill Roundabout

There's the other kind too though, isn't there? there is the actual yellow speed cameras. which are not what we are talking about (I think)

Congestion monitoring cameras and P/P leave my jokes out of it

Thought I would have got accused of cherry picking to suit my argument

This report seeks approval to spend Local Transport Plan capital funding on installing a system of real-time CCTV cameras on the corridor from the City Centre to the A1058 Coast Road and on the Great North Road, as a means of improving driver information, improving the management of the strategic highway network and reducing congestion. Recommendation Approve the capital expenditure of £95,000 from the LTP Integrated Transport Budget for 2004/5, to carry out the proposals outlined in the report. Background With ever increasing private car ownership and use, set against a background of declining bus patronage, it is inevitable that general congestion levels will continue to rise without continued intervention by the Council, as Highway Authority, in the management and operation of the main highway network . The Local Transport Plan continues to be used effectively to improve the transport infrastructure for buses and private transport. However, further measures will continue to be sought and implemented to seek to reduce congestion levels for all forms of transport. In common with most major Cities, peak hour congestion on the main highway network in Newcastle is very significant and there is little scope for increasing the capacity of the network by building new roads. Besides the normal demand / capacity issues, road traffic accidents, planned road works, public utility works etc can all cause unexpected additional problems on routes that would otherwise operate in an acceptable manner. However, spare capacity does exist on other roads and at other times, but it is often very difficult, if not impossible to get the information on the congestion conditions to the driver in time to influence their travel patterns. This can be a particular problem for bus operators. Whereas the private car drivers can adjust their route choice and time of travel, this is not a choice for the bus driver who has a pre-determined route and timetable to comply with. The result of a reduced traffic capacity can be excessive delays for all, but particularly for buses. This is particularly important when viewed against survey information supplied by Nexus, which shows that the reliability of bus services is the most important factor for the public in determining their mode choice. It is a common complaint of drivers trapped in a traffic jam to say that if they had only known about the problem, they could have chosen a different route or would have travelled earlier or later to avoid the problem. If we could introduce a system which could get this information to the drivers it would help to reduce the excessive peak hour problems that are encountered on some key roads in the City and in effect ‘flatten out’ the peak hour problems and create some spare capacity that would help bus operation. Even a change in traffic flows of a pew percentage points can make a significant difference. In addition to the above, the new Traffic Management Act 2004 places a duty on the Highway Authority to manage the highway network in the most efficient manner possible. This will be done through the implementation of systems and work practices aimed at coordinating works, minimising the time works are in place, early problem spotting and intervention etc. The Proposal In the modern working environment, it is increasingly common for people to work ‘flexi-time’ and to have access to a computer and the Internet. This combination of flexibility and potential access to real-time information presents an opportunity to address this problem and allow drivers to make a more informed decision about their route and time of travel. It is proposed to install 10 high quality, mast mounted CCTV cameras at key locations on :- • the north east corridor from the City Centre to the A1058 Coast Road. This is currently a very heavily trafficked route and a bus Superoute. • The Great North Road corridor from Barras Bridge to Polwarth Drive. This is also a very heavily trafficked route and a bus Superoute Each camera will be mounted on an 8m high mast at key locations to give the maximum benefit. The cameras will be used to transmit very high quality colour CCTV images to the Civic Centre. These images will then be placed on the Internet to allow drivers to view them and help inform their route choice and time of travel. For instance, drivers viewing a scene of very heavy congestion on the Cradlewell route could choose to travel east via Byker Bridge or to delay their journey until traffic levels have reduced. In addition to the CCTV images it is planned to include current and future roadworks information on the web-site to give drivers the complete picture on a particular route. This integrated system can then be used by individual drivers, bus operators, radio stations etc to give accurate information on the condition of the network. The proposed system involves the use of a private low powered radio virtual network for image transmission, which negates the need for expensive fibre optic connections and on-going communications costs. The images will then be processed on an existing computer system which has already been purchased for a similar use for the City Centre. The cameras can be pre-programmed point in certain directions at particular times of the day to observe peak hour reversals in traffic flow. They can also be controlled by the viewer via the Internet, although certain security and privacy systems will need to be engaged. The cameras will produce good image quality under street light conditions. The proposals contained in this report and the information derived from the cameras will also help the Council to carry out its traffic management and road safety functions in a more efficient manner, as well as significantly contributing towards the duties contained in the Traffic Management Act 2004.

Yes. A driver working for us amassed so many points on one run down the A1 he lost his licence. THEY ARE NOT SPEED CAMERAS. I BET PP A 12 MONTH IP BAN.

They are definitely speed cameras, if you take a look when you pass them they have the word truvelo written on them, same as the picture. I went down the coast road this morning and never noticed anything different, the only cameras I saw were the ones Ive already mentioned. If theyre the average speed ones then they need to tell you, wherever these appear theres always signs beforehand telling you that its based on the average speed over the distance. They are also suspended overhead I think you are wrong based purely on their positioning. I hope you are wrong. Why have I not received points or fines if I have constantly been too fast going past?

I thank you

They've beenthere for ages. I have been told that they are for monitoring congestion. This rings true as there are some just as you approach the civic centre and the positioning of the ones on the coast road. I sped past them on many occasion over the past 5 months or so and not received any fine etc,

Better than them wankers on N-O. Old NobW Oxygen thief

A man is boasting in a pub to three friends that he can tell just by looking at and feeling a football which team had played with the ball. I bet you £200 you can’t one says. The boaster syas he can and that he will be them all £200 and to bring a mystery ball back to him in a weeks time. Sure enough back they come. He takes the first ball, looks at it, squeezes it, gives it a quick sniff and says. The ball is beautiful. It has no scuff marks, it has many different expensive aftershave aroma’s many of them from foreign countries – it’s a Chelsea ball. Uncanny says the amazed bloke – it is a Chelsea ball. The second bloke hands over his ball and the expert looks at it, squeezes it and takes a big sniff. Look at state of this ball he says, its been kicked out of shape, its scuffed and smells of body odour. It’s a cheap foreign import – its from Bolton. Brilliant says the bloke it is a Bolton football. The third guy hands over his ball full of confidence. The expert looks at it gives it a squeeze and hands it straight back. You insult me he says – its from Sunderland. How the hell did you know that ask the bloke? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The expert replies – its going down of course!!!

Woor youngen has played against him a canny bit. He is not that good (gates). North Shields class or whitley bay (not having a pop at them by the way I was just comparing them to professionals)
