More than 225 speeding drivers every day are being caught in the Burnley and Domain tunnels by a network of surveillance cameras. More than 80,000 motorists are expected to be caught speeding by the end of the year. Supt Bob Wiley of the traffic support division had a blunt message to those who thought tunnel speed limits and fines were too tough.
Stupidity is alive and well.
If you choose to continue to behave the way you are they you will continue to suffer the consequences. Supt Wiley said fewer than one in 200 vehicles checked in the tunnels was speeding, below the average of one in 42 at all other speed camera sites. There's very little lane changing taking place. Compliance is excellent. Supt Wiley said while some drivers may still be adjusting to the fixed cameras there was a group of yobbos who continued to drive through the tunnels at high speeds.
