they consist of a generator trailer like the light ones road workers use but with a small read out screen on top. their purpose is to tell you your speed. if your speeding a red and blue light flashes then a message in red pops up to say slow down, and then gives you your speed.
the government has installed these moblie trailers along with the new campeign that was decided that this will help stop bad accidents.
i thing they are a drilliant way to check your speedo as they seen very accurate.

have you got them yet.

they pop up regularly in school zones, on the highways, and at Pt Wakefield in the school holidays.
We usually just try to find out how fast we can go past them

I have seen them in Melbourne for years as well. The ones i have seen show if you are going to fast, they swap between the speed and 'SLOW DOWN' quite quickly. If you are doing the speed limit or less they flash 'WELL DONE' or something similar. Most of the time they have something like 'Limited to 75' or something like that depending on the speed zone they are in.they have them here in melb, just a readout-no red or blue flashing light.

But then, Vic cops would shoot you for being faster than that anyway, hehehe.

Stoopid arse things, as said above, all they do is inspire people to play silly buggers. I'm sure my mates will be down there this friday "testing" out the sign.

I reckon they are excellent, particularly in school zones. Lets face it, we all need a 'reminder' every now & again. Even better is the reminder doesnt come with a photo!
On the weekends, they are used for advertising events. Bloody clever that council!
