There was a mobile speed camera on the A4 this morning. Direction Zug, between mystop and the tunnel.

How did you spot it? With a flash?

Didnt get flashed, the camera was in the other direction. Big grey mobile unit front and back camera's. Might still be there. Very likely its caught more than a handful.

That camera has been there since Thursday last week. I reckon it has caught more than a handful.

Yeah, there certainly can be some accident hot spots in Switzerland. Glad they put those cameras up.

The camera is on a new motorway and nowhere near an accident hot spot. I drive that road everyday and have never seen a near miss let alone an accident at that section of road. I would rather the money was spent putting better road signs up at the exit to Zug where I have seen many near misses & really is an accident waiting to happen.

Now there's a surprise!

The money being spent? The money is being MADE!

Does anyone have a link to location of cameras all over Switzerland? Not that I intend to break the law but it would be nice to know in advance where and what to expect from ambush. it would potentially save budget by being caught offguard. I heard radiculous stories of camera's locations which are more money making scheme instead of having anything to do with road safety in whole meaning of this word.

The camera was gone tonight.

I believe it is now illegal to publish information about speed camera installations.

You have to remember where they are so you don't pay twice. Or buy a car with a tempo-mat.

I meant if they did not spend money buying them in the first place but I know what you mean; the cameras are the proverbial cash cows.

Radio Argovia have a list after the news with places where there are speed cameras. Last time I got flashed they announced it about 15 seconds later...aarrggghhhhh

That only makes me tune up to Radio Argovia and to slow down to be at least 15 seconds faster before potential risk of getting caught

No it isn't. It's only illegal (but virtually unenforceable) to have them stored in a GPS unit that will notify you if you're approaching one.

Yes, I received something from TomTom reporting that they have talked to authorties and there was no give in terms of having speed cameras published on their devices like the rest of Europe. There's a few articles on the web about it e.g. - http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070212/075138.shtml. In my opinion if they were really keen on safety then they'd slap points on your licence, but then they'd really have to justify some of the sections of roads they put them at.

Face it, we live in a country that has a 'fine' mentality, "do something wrong, you pay for it". I once got a CHF 60 fine for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign... on a bicycle!! Apparently you need to put one foot on the ground. To be honest once you realise that it's not necessarily a bad thing [living in a 'fine' mentality country], you get used to it. The most annoying thing was the policeman was ever so friendly.

The speed camera is back in the same place this morning.
