I will remove the picture of the orange Gatso, as this type is not used in Australia. Tarcus 31/5/2007
Could someone please justify the

template on this page within 7 days, otherwise I will remove it. Tarcus 09:46, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
No justification, so its removed. Tarcus 22:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The reference to GATSO should be removed from this article as GATSO requires the use of fixed calibration markers for operation. The method referred to as GATSO is simply Dopler shift radar, which uses no fixed calibration markers. To the best of my knowledge there are no true GATSO cameras in use within Victoria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.238.194.170 (talk) 19:00, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
The cameras are manufactured by Gatsometer. Tarcus 09:27, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Title does not include redlight cameras, many of which are dual speed/redlight now. Might want to include bus lane, toll and level crossing cameras in the article too.
Agree: However I'm opposed to the name road safety, it sounds biased to the government, I'd prefer Traffic cameras in Australia. Tarcus 01:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Disagree: As above, I agree with the rename, but not with the POV term "road safety camera".
[edit] WA speed limit grace
Tarcus - do you keep adding in the bit about WA police giving a "grace" of 8kph? This is incorrect, I have the fines to prove it. I've removed this twice now & someone has added it back in each time.124.169.120.191 13:55, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
It's not me doing that. Tarcus 20:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Cool. Someone does... is it possible to stop them altering the article incorrectly? What's the procedure / protocol here? 124.169.120.191 11:29, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Orac68: I have altered/added some information about the Multanova. The reference to an allowance over the speed limit is +8km/h as of 16/01/2008 is correct, also the Multanova margin of error is +/- 1km/h because these units are road side mounted the +/-3km/h is for a vehicle mounted unit.
- So you have a source for this information please? Socrates2008 (Talk) 21:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes. I work for the Western Australian Police. Orac68 09:43, 16 January 2008 (WDST)

- Thanks for the update. Please note that without a published and verifiable source, that info will have to remain tagged as unreferenced though. Also, now that you've stuck your hand up as a policeman, I suggest you take a look at How to avoid COI edits in case you have not done so already, as there are some potential issues there that you should be aware of.

NPs but I must say right away I NEVER said I was a Police Officer. Orac68
So, I'm guess your the unsworn officer/ contractor who sets up the camera and sits in the car? So you can properly reference the material, if you have an operating guidelines handbook, that would be appropriate; oh, and good picture.Tarcus (talk) 23:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry Orac68, my bad assumption. Socrates2008 (Talk) 06:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Its amazing how someone keeps messing with the information on the page :S Trying to educate people that if they do the speed limit there will never be a problem. Let alone the fact that on average most vehicle speedometers are out about 2km/h at least. The Nissan X-Trails currently used by the department are the worst I have seen besides older model land cruisers. At 110km/h they are out by about 8km/h. This decreases to about 2-3km/h @ 60km/h.
