Hi Ql members,

Is there any cameras in roundabouts. When i'm with my friend in the car, always see him beating the redlight on the roundabouts. Thanks

I would like ask the members if there is now CCTV in Mid Mac Round about. Just an inquiry to members. Thanks

Normally drivers will obey traffic lights and no one like to pay fines but sometimes light is flashing yellow and you pay attention to traffic and it suddenly turned red and unnoticed and you go. This is confusing in a round about. Hoping authorities shall play consideration in this scenario.

it's hard to put cameras in the roundabouts especially if the traffic lights have no counters, placing traffic lights alone may cause accidents forcing cars to make sudden stops.

no cameras on round-abouts

they will be useless, since the cars usually pass the sensor line when the lights are flashing yellow.

they only can have any use if the lights only turn red and green.

If your friend beats the red light, then beat your friend til he turns red.

A friend of mine was Fined Qrs. 6000/- two months back when he jumped the red-light on TV Station R/A & Lakhwiya was unfortunately behind.

This is Qatar - do you think people will stop at a red light when there is no red light camera?

Or drive at the speed limit when there is no speed camera?

People here don't seem to do anything because it's the right thing to do, but because they are afraid of punishment.

Not only is he breaking laws and hence a criminal but he is also endangering his own life as well as the life of many people around including his friends traveling with him!

As for your question, then generally there are no fixed radars around roundabouts but mobile ones maybe planted every now ans then in which case your friend is doomed!

Then he might be blind?

Thank you for the info, little bit worry for him as sometimes he did not noticed that the red signal is on already but he still moving.
