Speed Radars on Fire
Location: Road connecting Sana and Barwa Signal to Wakrah.
Last night and today morning was a shocking experience.
The road speed for the above location is 100km/h and as usual i kept my cruise at 95km/h but was surprised when I saw camera flash. I thought there may be some issue with the car's speedometer and reduced my speed further below to 80km/h but the result was same. The worst part was when camera flashed at 60km/h speed.
Did anyone else expereinced it?
Will this get added to "Traffic violations"?
Why did this happen and when is it going to be rectified?
Drive Safely and Keep distance!!!
You never know the driver of the Car in front of you can apply sudden brakes out of shock.
Have a Great Weekend :)
check on moi.gov.qa enter ur car number plate, they update within 3 days
Thanks for your reply and I mean I didnt see the red light , only i have seen yellow while I was cross the signal.
but I am having doubt
if I have violated the signal do I receive a SMS at the same time or it will take time this was happend yesterday night around 7.45pm and stil not appreaer in the system.
only when u cross RED violation
if I pass the junction durung yellow light and no flash lidgts been shown , it means no trafic violation or it can be vialation in the system in the future
please advise
There's me seeing the title of this thread and thought that some of the cameras had burnt to the ground!
hehe..
I drove on that road as well and I have been waiting for the metrash message after i got flashed as well for driving at 80km/hr in a 100km/hr zone..
It's Camera Malfunction...check the moi website and hopefully you will be ok with no fines
yes they will but after they are ready to function a few of them still have malfunctioning problems
I think those cameras will calculate your average speed in a certain distance. If your average speed is above the permitted speed in that road you will be fined because they will assume that in certain areas you were over speeding.
they flashed me last friday speed below 100 km- no violation , technicians are having a test before the final go
It will not add to your traffic violation data. I was there this morning and technicians were working on it. If its malfunction , they will delete all the data in the camera.
this is my point of view and i could be wrong.
The minimum road limit for radars in doha is 80km. below that if u have been flashed so that means that specific radar is malfunctioning. dont worry about that. ur voilation will be neglected in this case.
Khanan i'm not too sure, anything is possible here..my friend got fined for no parking twice on the same day in the same location 600 bucks and 6 points...at a time he was sleeping at home :P
Thanks..Hope so... :)
Not just the Bridge, all the way from Sana to Barwa Signal...
added to the fine. It is camera malfunction.
Happened many times when being flashed at Cinema Signal though the lights are green.
are you talking about the bridge? coz the birdge is 60kms speed limit.
