This is a camera system that can scan 1000 cars in an hour. What is the concept of scanning 1000 cars in an hour?
Holdfast Bay City Council issued a total of nine tickets six months before testing the camera system, compared with 15 in the previous six months, but guess how many tickets were issued in the six months before the test?
266! It's almost 30 times what it was before!
From October to March this year, testers drove a test vehicle with a monitoring system installed at the top of the vehicle, parked in the Anzac Hwy area of Glenelg for monitoring, only on weekends and public holidays.
The monitoring system can even identify vehicles that park more than three hours.
The system is similar to the parking system used in many private centers, and the huge potential revenue from the system will soon reach the state government ceiling.
Using this super fine tool, you can catch up with the whole of South Australia in one district with fine revenue!
The weirdest thing is! It can even detect vehicle location changes in the same parking area, which will also be issued as overtime tickets.
What do you mean?
For example, you park your car in a free parking space for two hours, and two hours later, to avoid a ticket, you move the car to another free two-hour parking space next to it.
There must be a lot of people who have done this, right?
This fine will treat you like a car that hasn't moved a parking space! And I'll give you a parking ticket for overtime!
Holdfast Bay City Council's general manager, Steve Hodge, said the system will be first used in beach areas later this year, just to allow people to find parking spaces quickly and to help monitors save time.
"it will also make it more efficient for security officials to spend more time patrolling beaches and schools rather than marking vehicles in the streets."
In 2017, 280600 drivers were fined $18.6 million in revenue, excluding the Tea Tree Gully or Campbelltown area.
In the Holdfast Bay area, from Glenelg North to Kingston Park, a total of 15873 tickets were issued, with a fine of up to $977,659.
For $90,000, Glenelg Beach roadside parking will be the first area in Adelaide to use the device in October.
This will be followed by Brighton Beach, which will then be applied to the rest of Adelaide.
Last week Congress reported on the success of the parking monitoring system.
"the technology can scan 1000 cars an hour, day or night, and it can work in any weather."
The report also says the system will generate and retain images for validation, saving time and resources, and greatly improving accuracy.
Although spending on the system would significantly increase fines, parliament insists it would only raise fines by 5 to 10 percentage points a year.
Senator John Smedley is pleased with the new technology and supports the parking inspection system. Testing the system is an example of "reasonable use of money," he said, because it "will constrain people's parking habits in the future."
But Adelaide's couple, Neil Spencer and Deborah Spencer, don't like the system, saying it could hurt local tourism.
"Crazy fines keep people away from Glenelg.," Mr. Spencer said. If you punish them a few times, they won't want to come again. "
And the Adelaide City Council has also taken new measures in the area of parking fines, and Adelaide City Center will install 2800 on-the-ground parking probes.
The measure will allow people to find empty parking spaces through APP, pay directly in APP, and know how long they can park before being fined. Unley City Council is also testing on-ground parking probes.
Guys, hurry up and go to Glenelg,Brighton beaches and take more photos! Maybe you'll be punished in the future and dare not go!
Of course, we still have to behave, and abide by the parking system! Don't stop blindly, causing unnecessary damage.
