johnlt Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 There are quite a few speed cameras in use in southern AZ, in town, on the interstate and on the country 2 lanes. There is normally a lot warning with signs being posted a mile then again at a half mile so unless you have a bad case of stupid, most can avoid getting caught. Today I came across one on a country road (Hwy 83) that was miles from any building. I saw the signs and slowed down to the speed limit (although I think they give you +10) and at about 300 yards, I picked up a lasar warning on my V1, then at about 100 yards I picked up a radar warning. This is the first time I've picked up a lasar warning at a speed camera. Has anyone else seen this? Link to comment
AZKomet Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 No John I have not. They typically use the "timed event" theory and not a radar signal we are all use to. So I too am careful around the great State of Revenue generation!! Looks like they may be a thing of the past if the current HB passes. Link to comment
velomoto Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 The mobile units in CO use radar and take nice pic's! Link to comment
ProductUser Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 John -- I got K-band hits on my V1 while passing a mobil unit on US 60; I was the only vehicle around that morning as I slowly passed the photo van. The fixed photo units use timing marks, as Dave described. Just some info: I was flashed twice within 10 miles one day In Mesa and Tempe, they will not send you a ticket if they cannot identify you; I don't know if this holds true for other cities/counties.

johnlt Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 This was a mobil unit. I usually only get the K band hit but this time I got both K and L. Possibly a false alarm but interesting coincidence. Link to comment
