More Speed Traps

KwaZulu Natal - Speedtraps 2

By sss2nv 10 NOV, 2008

If you're travelling on the N3, toward Pmb, and you take the "Paradise Valley" off-ramp (the off-ramp before the Richmond road off-ramp), there's a permanent camera mounted on the bridge, where it becomes an 80 zone. Seems to flash whenever it feels like it, though.

A new spot is on the Essex Terrace pedestrian bridge over the M13 east bound (Durban), near the MBA building. This is an 80 zone. The camera is sometimes left on its own and is not easily noticeable. When the officer is at the camera, he is noticeable. The vehicle is parked on the Essex Terrace side, hidden by the steps and vegetation from traffic coming from Pinetown side.

M13 split as you come in from either the N3 from the Pavilion or M13 from Westville into Pinetown. The fuzz have erected a permanent camera in the 80km zone as the two roads meet and this puppy is a double header servicing both roads. Nice one Mr Plod!

There is a guy who sits in the bushes from about 12:00pm till about 17:00pm with his laser gun. This whole road is a 60km zone. He sits anywhere along this road. They normally trap from Monday to Friday but they have been seen on weekends as well. So just take it easy when you on this road.

Fixed camera travelling South at Curry's Post / Balgowan interchange. Speed limit 120 km/h.

New permanent cameras on the N2, from Durban going to Mount Edgecombe, a few meters after the bridge in the vicinity of the KwaMashu/Avoca/Redhill offramp. Note: There are cameras in both directions!

Permanent cameras. Just before the Balmoral Truck stop & Shell garage (+- 10 km North of Harrismith) in both directions. There is a new speed limit of 80km in force.

There is a new speed trap setup when comming into durban. It's in the trees at the fork between Commercial & Old Dutch roads. The speed zone immediately changes to 60 so if you take the Commercial Rd side of the split then be careful of the trees on the right hand side of the road. I received a fine in the post and it said N3-COMMERCIAL RD-DUCT.

Come around the bend just after the Umkomaas onramp and at the entrance to the bridge (over the Umkomaas river) there was a cop with manned laser camera on the right hand side. Was a bit hard to notice him as the grass was long from not being cut recently. You only notice him at about 300m at which point he as already got a lovely photo of you.
