TP wannabes on the overhead bridge?

[danielburgess]

Hi guys,

 

Wondered if it was only me or if you guys experienced it, normally I take the PIE to work in Pasir Ris over the last few months, and noticed that there are sometimes the following on the overhead bridge.

 

1) A camera (does not look like a speed camera)

 

2) A camera (not speed camera) with an umbrella on top

 

3) A camera (not speed camera) with 2 civilians standing there

 

4) A civilian dressed person holding a camera (he was there for at least 2 hours cause I saw him when I was heading somewhere, and saw him again on the way home.)

 

From looks of it, are they trying to wayang? Don't know if it is only me who saw them, but I saw a group of them standing on the 3 overhead bridges on the PIE starting from the one after the off ramp for the Eunos exit a few sundays in a row, normally in the evening.

 

Cheers!

Ops. Sry for the misunderstanding.

Its just me n my friends trying out my newly bought Canon DSLR camera n got too carried away with it.

[Guest Eason]

playing with shutter speed LOL

[ghost04]

there are actually ppl who will jam break when they see camera flash from overhead bridge or kerb side..

That's their problem. If not speeding, why worry and the need to jam brake?

Apologies.

brake.

[myxilplix]

Might be employed by LTA to monitor traffic volume and flow?

[byteblock]

its a shame we can't ride with shotguns..shoot them off the bridge.

i've come across many people who have an "auto reaction" when they see something resembling TP,and will automatically jam brake..

very dangerous hobby by these fellas on the bridges.they should take up jogging instead.

Think those with umbrella on top more for contractors.

[Wildswans]

If wanna try camera can go else where.....

 

Very risky....

 

90 % of the driver/riders will speed.... then jam brake when they see the camera

[prego08220]

Haha.. Try camara the whole day.. U gotta be damn free man..

[fattsum]

I have noticed them too, and they were there from dawn to dust. They seem to be there just guarding the camera, unlike the TP who will stand right next to the cam and continuous monitoring the cam operations. I would suspect they are LTA contractors engaged to monitor the traffic flow, I bet is that the ERP along PIE will be revised soon.

[WildCard]

Some of them could be engineers doing a land survey.

haha i think they gonna add more gantries to the CTE and also a new gantry at the PIE right after you enter from CTE .. heavy congestion areas..

exactly. haha

That's a land surveyor.

Is not a survey equipment, it's a video camera. Two cameras on each sheltered overhead bridge, unlike the TPs which aims at the oncoming traffic, these cameras aimed the opposite directions, ie. the rear of the car.

[danielburgess]

Nope, that was not what I saw. Pretty sure it was a video camera.

ByteBlock - haha. i had the same tots too. infact, it wud hv been better it was a machine gun or sumtink. they sure are TP wannbes. tsk.

 

Danielburgess- experienced the exact same ting too! at 3 consecutive overheads, they were holding onto an umbrella wid a cam. isk.

[Wildswans]

There are a dozen and one places to try out camera....

 

If wanna be on bridge then go on the tree top walk......

 

Its a hazzard whether you agree of not....

Maybe , haha .. cause i was looking at him didn't see the other side of the road

[Wen gege]

i encounter dis problem too. was travelled along towards woodlands, a minor road to Nee ann poly. b4 e keint ridge park Mac, there is a bridge, saw a camera stand there(black), but there ain't any one beside e camera, it was at nite like 8-9 plus,i was shock n trying to reduce e speed when i c a look a like camera there.

 

i seriously find it is a vv stupid way to try out their so call new camera at e bridge. is seriously vv danderous to driver or rider. if e Tp wanna be is in e forum, a msg for u, grown up dude, it ain't funny.

[gorgonitz82]

ha ... gt camera or nt .... just dun speed can liao loh ... unless u go more than 140 dun think u need to jam break to go 90 ... or u only lookout for overhead bridge when u r damm near ... den too bad
