Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations(1) This section defines the meaning of codes and other information indicated on an image of a vehicle taken by an approved camera detection device or approved average speed detection system.
(2) It is not necessary that all the codes and other information mentioned in this section be indicated on an image but if they do appear they have the meaning given in this section.
(3) The characters (whether numbers, letters or both) in the field immediately after ‘Device' is the code for—
(a) the laser speed measuring device component of the digital camera detection device that took the image; or
(b) the radar speed measuring device component of the digital camera detection device, or fixed camera detection device, that took the image; or
(c) the piezo strip speed measuring device component of the fixed camera detection device that took the image; or
(d) the loop detector speed measuring device component of the fixed camera detection device that took the image; or
(e) the automatic number plate recognition camera component of the average speed detection system that took the image.
Example
‘Device: 012409' indicates that the code for the laser speed measuring device component of the digital detection device, or piezo strip speed measuring device component of the fixed camera detection device, that took the image, is 012409.
Note An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act
, s 126 and s 132).
(4) The characters in the field immediately after ‘Date' is the date when the image was taken, with the first 2 numbers indicating the day of the month, followed by an abbreviation for the month and the year.
Example
‘Date: 15/11/00' indicates that the image was taken on 15 November 2000.
(5) The numbers in the field immediately after ‘Time' is the time when the image was taken, stated in the 24-hour clock system.
Examples
1 ‘Time: 11.07.00.23' indicates that the image
was taken at 0.23 seconds after
11.07 am.
2 ‘Time: 13:53:10:07' indicates that the image was taken at 10.07 seconds after 1.53 pm.
(6) The letter in the field immediately after ‘Direction' or ‘Dir' indicates—
(a) for an image taken by a digital camera detection device—whether the general direction in which the vehicle was travelling was away from or towards the device, with ‘A' indicating away from the device and ‘T' indicating towards the device; or
(b) for an image taken by a fixed camera detection device—the general direction in which the vehicle was travelling when the image was taken, with ‘N' indicating north, ‘S' indicating south, ‘E' indicating east and ‘W' indicating west.
Example—par (a)
‘Direction: A' indicates that when the image was taken the vehicle was generally travelling away from the digital camera detection device that took the image.
Example—par (b)
‘Direction: N' indicates that when the image was taken the vehicle was travelling in the general direction of north.
(7) The characters in the field immediately after ‘Lane' is the code for the lane in which the vehicle was travelling when the image was taken, with the following codes having the stated meaning:
(a) ‘L1' or ‘1': means the lane next to the centre of the road;
(b) ‘L2' or ‘2': means the lane immediately to the left of L1 (or 1);
(c) ‘L3' or ‘3': means the lane immediately to the left of L2 (or 2);
(d) ‘L4' or ‘4': means the lane immediately to the left of L3 (or 3).
Example
‘Lane: L1' indicates that the vehicle was travelling in the lane next to the centre of the road when the image was taken.
(8) The number in the field immediately after ‘Red time' is the time in seconds and part seconds that a red traffic light or red traffic arrow facing the driver of the vehicle had been showing before the driver entered the intersection concerned.
Example
‘Red time: 1.50' indicates that the red traffic light or red traffic arrow facing the driver of the vehicle had been showing for 1.5 seconds before the driver entered the intersection concerned.
(9) The number in the field immediately after ‘Speed li', which may be described as ‘Speed limit', is the speed limit applying to the driver of the vehicle for the length of road where the driver was driving when the image was taken.
Example
‘Speed li: 60'or ‘Speed limit 60' indicates that the speed limit applying to the driver of the vehicle for the length of road where the driver was driving when the image was taken is 60km/h.
(10) The number in the field immediately after ‘Speed' is the speed in kilometres per hour at which the driver of the vehicle was driving when the image was taken.
Example
‘Speed: 82' indicates that the driver of the vehicle was driving at 82km/h when the image was taken.
(11) The characters (whether numbers, letters or both) in the field immediately after ‘Operator' is the code for the person responsible for the use of the device when the image was taken.
Example
‘Operator: op002' indicates that the code for the person responsible for the device when the image was taken is operator 002.
(12) The characters (whether numbers, letters or both) in the field immediately after ‘Disk' is the code for the recording medium used to record the image of the vehicle.
Example
‘Disk: WD0022' indicates that the code for the device used to record the image was WD0022.
