Trash can speed camera in Dubai

[kadar]

Just received two fines last month on al fursan street aka al twar street where Dubai police placed trash can looking hidden speed camera to flash the speeding vehicle from back. Road limit is 60 kmph so almost everyone speed there and this camera turn out to be a great spot for fishing speeding cars. Just googled now and spotted several facebook post and khaleej times news claiming that these cameras have caught 35,000 cars in almost two month.

Want to share this hidden speed cam news here, to warn every speeding driver so that you don't go out of budget this month with hefty fines. I hate to pay such heavy fines, but I know and agree it's my mistake.....gggggrrrrrr. wht to do.

This is nothing new buddy, Dubai police doing these surprise mobile camera all the time to teach lesson to speedy driver. Only new is that they using this huge trash can look-like backflasher than their white xtrail based mobile camera or their small three legged front flasher camera.

Just wondering, isn't mobile camera should have prior warning on road due to privacy issue involved......?

To be honest, it's very nice to catch those speeding Patrols, Lexus, FJC and all sports cars who does not respect other road users safety and start flashing even when you are the maximum allowed speed limit.

Thanks Kader for sharing this, very helpful as sometime we all over speed little here and there and looks like these cameras will bring an end to all those occasional speeding as well. Good and bad at the same time.

Also read that in Abu Dhabi, cops are installing the camera to catch louder cars who rev engine at higher decibels, isn't that going too far.....?

to be honest, this not new as dubai police always place mobile cameras in so many roads and catch the violators regularly, so why this trash cam only getting all the attraction in scoiety.
