Jollygoodfellow Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Not sure if this has been done before in the Philippines and I have never seen or heard of this until now. CCTO's speed gun to end SRP speeding September 08, 2021 MOTORISTS passing through the South Road Properties (SRP) in Cebu City should avoid overspeeding or get penalized. This after the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) has acquired a radar speed gun to help detect the speed of vehicles passing along the SRP. With their speed gun, the CCTO can now start implementing City Ordinance 2621, which requires vehicles passing through the SRP to move within a speed limit of 60 kilometers per hour. The ordinance, which was authored by Cebu City Councilor Raymond Alvin Garcia, was enacted in April this year. Paul Gotiong, CCTO spokesperson, said drivers caught driving beyond the speed limit may be penalized with a P2,000 fine and attendance of a four-hour seminar for the first offense. For the second offense, the motorist will be required to pay a P2,500 fine, attend a four-hour seminar and spend three hours for community service. But a motorist caught the third time will be required to pay a P3,000 fine and have his or her vehicle impounded. Gotiong said the CCTO is testing one speed gun for now before acquiring more. It is now being used by the personnel assigned at the SRP. (JJL) Link to story 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I believe such devices are in use on the Angeles-Subic 'Expressway'. A nice little earner... as other users around the world have discovered (decades ago). What's next... registration plates ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had them in Subic Bay Freeport for over 2 years, before Covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a speed camera system detects a passing vehicle, it takes a picture. These pictures capture the following information about the offending vehicle: · Color, make, model, and license plate · Date and time of the offense · Direction of travel · Speed of the vehicle VS posted speed limit · Lane vehicle is traveling in · Camera Locations · Other specified parameters 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reading is in the gun like a digital thermometer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes photo radar a little bit useless. You see the plates stay with the car when you sell, not with the owner. So if the new owner never changes it out of your name then . . well you probably get the picture. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming its a speed radar gun as JGF says... the ticket would be issued by the officer to the driver rather than the vehicle. But IF the officer were to check registration of the vehicle during the stop, AND figured out the person never changed it after purchasing it... yep, whole new issue for some to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham59 Posted September 10, 2021 Posted September 10, 2021 It all went to crap after vehicles were expected to have some tread and no exposed wires on the tyres. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
