I was just about to say its a weather cam, but you all beat me to it.
on the 104 highway outbound from hali either just before the Irving Big Stop or Just after it theres a speed camera, its tagged on the Blackberry Trapster but yea thats one of the main ones i know od its huge theres a huge flash on it and **** too.

If its the one Im thinking of, its not a speed camera. Its a image recognition camera that detects trucks, when it does detect a big rig it triggers a sign that tells them to go to the weigh station for weighing. BB Trapster gets all its information from users, I've had it for a while but found it to be ridiculously inaccurate, people tagging anything and everything they see as a "speed trap".

DEZZIE41

so there is no way possible to get a ticket from that camera?

Looked into it a little more, the easiest way to tell if is a weigh station cam (around NS anyway) is you will see pads in the pavement that actually weigh the trucks at highway speeds, its called WIM (weigh in motion).

Unless things have changed recently, NS does not use red light cameras or speed cameras for issuing tickets. Ticket-able traffic violations have to be witness by an officer.

oh my, here we go again. like i dont understand why you gotta be so nagitive. you no longer have a cobalt, and when you talk about it you hate on them.
theres no need for you to say the **** you do on here to people.
im sure if you had a drivers license and you had a car you would speed to, everyone does it at some point, some get caught some dont.

but yea Dezzie your fine no cop scanner on the number 7 that i know of.

What do they use the redlight cameras and speed radar cameras for then?
i went thru the speed radar one giving it the middle finger and it flashed on me and took a pic lol.
i know theres a redlight cam at the last intersection on duke street before it turns into glendale in the dirty sack

the one i know of has about 3 cameras on it, and like 2 huge flashes and once when i went thru it flahsed on me but i was driving the gf car and doing 110km

Like I said, unless something has changed recently. To my knowledge, they are not allowed to use said cameras in NS. They can however have speed WARNING cams/ radar set up, but they can not issue tickets with these. There was legislation in 2007 that they tried to put through to allow red light cams and speed cams but it did not pass.

I know what camera you are talking about, but its not a red light cam.. Its on top of the street light looking straight at the direction cars are coming at. It couldn't issue you a ticket even if it was a red light cam it couldn't see your license plate.

There are A LOT of cameras placed on top of intersections in HRM area that are used for traffic purposes. i.e. changing the lights at night etc... a image detection camera is much more effective than a light sensor and cheaper than a weight sensor in the pavement to detect a car sitting at the light at night.

If you still feel the need to rebel against the "man" by giving Weigh in Motion cameras and traffic cams the finger, buy all means be my guest.

CobaltSC06

I agree with her. like they say, you have to pay to play.
