ROAD TRANSPORT LEGISLATION REGULATIONS AMENDMENT (2000 NO 52) - REG 6 Approved people--use Subregulation 107 (1) is omitted and the following subregulation substituted: "(1) Each police officer is approved to use any traffic offence detection device (other than a traffic lights camera detection device).". ROAD TRANSPORT LEGISLATION REGULATIONS AMENDMENT (2000 NO 52) - REG 7 Substitution Regulation 108 is omitted and the following regulation substituted: "108 Meaning of vehicle image codes (MTR reg 26X) "(1) This regulation defines the meaning of codes and other information indicated on an image of a vehicle taken by an approved camera detection device. "(2) It is not necessary that all the codes and other information mentioned in this regulation be indicated on an image but if they do appear they have the meaning given in this regulation. "(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 piezo strip speed measuring device component of the traffic lights camera detection device that took the image. Example 'Device: 012409' indicates that the code for the laser speed measuring device component of the digital camera detection device, or piezo strip speed measuring device component of the traffic lights camera detection device, that took the image is 012409. "(4) The characters (whether numbers, letters or both) in the field immediately after 'Location' or 'Loc' is the code for the place where the image was taken (the location code). Example 'Location: sls0015' indicates that the code for the place where the image was taken is 0015 (see Schedule 1, item 15). "(5) A location code has the meaning given by Schedule 1. Example The location code '0015' indicates that the image was taken at Kingsford Smith Drive between Kuringa Drive and Spalding Street (see Schedule 1, item 15). "(6) For subregulation (5) and Schedule 1, if a road (however described) mentioned in an item of Schedule 1 intersects with another road (however described) more than once, the word '(north)' or '(south)' is included after the name of the road to indicate the intersection relevant to the meaning of the location code. Example The location code '0003' means that the image was taken on Athllon Drive between Beasley Street '(south)' and Sulwood Drive (see Schedule 1, item 3). As Beasley Street intersects Athllon Drive more than once, the word 'south' indicates that the southern intersection is the relevant intersection. "(7) 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. "(8) The numbers in the field immediately after 'Time' is the time when the image was taken, stated in the 24-hour clock system.

"(9) The letter in the field immediately after 'Direction' or 'Dir' indicates the direction the vehicle was travelling when the image was taken, with 'N' indicating north, 'S' indicating south, 'E' indicating east and 'W' indicating west. Example 'Direction: N' indicates that when the image was taken the vehicle was travelling north. "(10) 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: 'L1' means the lane next to the centre of the road 'L2' means the lane immediately to the left of L1 'L3' means the lane immediately to the left of L2 'L4' means the lane immediately to the left of L3. Example 'Lane: L1' indicates that the vehicle was travelling in the lane next to the centre of the road when the image was taken. "(11) The number in the field immediately after 'Red time' is the time in seconds and part seconds (stated as a fraction) 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. "(12) The number in the field immediately after 'Speed li' 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' 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 60 km/h.
