NLEX, SCTEX, Over-Speeding, Speed-Radar [MERGED Threads]

[boybi]

napansin ko din yang MNTC Patrol sa taas ng overpass. i was travelling at 110kph (and with my bigger tires, the actual speed might be more than 120kph). akala ko mahuhuli na ako. pero hindi naman. i think have an EC Tag might help a little. you won't have to pass through a booth with a teller that can see your plate number.

here's the pix of the NLEX Speed Trap.

the camera is mounted on the pole (located after the concrete structure). I guess that it'll take the picture of your rear license plate number.

[kurt]

the picture looks like its near the petron tabang area, manila bound, since i count 4 lanes.

do you think its correct to assume those pole mounted cameras are also near the locations of the emergency parkings or telephone booths? for technical convinience and security of the equipments.

going to subic tommorrow, pag masdan ko mabuti. not that i will try to beat these cameras. 80-90kph lang ako pag corolla gamit, to conserve gas. but iba na pag naka dmax or maybe pag gabi. snikt sneak snikt.

malamang nasa emergency parking and telephone areas. there are high poles there. technical convenience yan.

[mazdamazda]

just after yan ng meycauayan exit.

oo nga pala... yung mga cameras laging may parang small building sa tabi, kung wala naman nasa kabilang side ng highway... di ko nga sure kung anong laman nun

I don't think these are speed traps. Notice that you'll see most of it close to emergency parking and call booths. I think they use these cameras to monitor the whole stretch of NLEX in case of accidents and emergencies.

if you'll observe the highway... there's a a horizontal tar strip situated adjacent to the camera. ian_rex's cousin (who works with an NLEX contractor) said that the speed traps are imbedded in the highway.

and also, the MNTC also monitors the average speed of cars on each lane.

sana gawin nalang nila yung speed limit sa second to the left lane tpos yung left lane walang limit ala autobhan

I was in the NLEX last Sunday, from Balintawak to Pulilan and vice versa. I was trying to locate the cameras and speed traps pero hindi ko nakita. What I observed were the speeding cars overtaking me when I was running at 120-130 kph.

[impulse_101]

madami speeding dun. ako lang guilty. mabagal talaga ang 100. yung speed trap meron sa bocaue barrier. hindi sila ganun kadami,

[Blackraven]

100 kph can be a bit slow pero for that speed, it is considered a "safe speed".

Siguro kung 110 o 120 kph ang MAX na gawin nila with the 100 as the "recommended safe speed". Any car going 130 kph or above is caught.

My two cents.

I agree. If you want to travel at high speed then build your own highway. Tandaan hindi lang kayo ang gumagamit ng daan.

[mazdamazda]

pick one:

trucks, buses, jeepneys & other PUVs travelling at 100kph

or

cars travelling at 120kph

[FrankDrebin]

None. :D

[ILuvDetailing]

buti kung aabot ng 100kph yung jeep

[boylit]

Been passing NLEX going to and from Baguio practically every weekend of for the past 6 weeks. Twice on my bike and Twice in my station wagon. On both I run over 150 kph on empty sections and have not been arrested/warned/stopped/held.

[mazdamazda]

Some of them can even hit 120kph.

You should also see the buses & empty cargo trucks travelling at around 100kph...

[niky]

The funniest thing I've seen is AUVs going 140+ kph on the NLEX. I've actually done it in one, and it felt as safe as 80 kph on SLEX.

Not that I condone OVERspeeding, but I'm a firm believer that the "safe" speed is dependent on conditions and is not merely a flat, uniform figure... 140 kph on the SLEX or 100 kph on EDSA is vastly more dangerous than 200 kph on the NLEX.

[ILuvDetailing]

Some of them can even hit 120kph.

problem is, can they stop in time with those "de bomba" brakes? Are those PUJs or owner type jeeps?

[FrankDrebin]

Yes they can stop if their brake system is in good condition. With the "de bomba brake (usually may problema sa master)" they can stop also in time kapag may alalay at maganda ang distansya.
