LIGHTS, camera, but no action.
The two New Zealand Transport Agency cameras installed on a
10m pole at the corner of Andersons Bay Rd and the Southern
Motorway in October were expected to "go live" this month -
but will now be delayed until next year.
NZTA regional communications adviser Bob Nettleton said the
cameras would go live "sometime in the first quarter of
2010".
The agency wanted to synchronise the introduction of other
cameras around the country, rather than introduce them in an
"ad hoc" manner, he said.
Images from the high-resolution cameras would allow the
public to monitor the area for traffic congestion via
internet sites such as those run by the NZTA, Automobile
Association, MetService and the Dunedin City Council.
Camera images would be updated every 30 seconds, with one
camera monitoring the motorway southwards and the other
looking along Andersons Bay Rd.
