I'm actually surprised anyone would speed in the Brisbane tunnels, they're generally known as having more cameras than cars in them at any one time.

Same with the tunnels in Melbourne, speed cameras everywhere.

But then again, some people are morons.

This is an old photo taken when the tunnel first opened. They just slapped on the the text, and blurred the number plates to make it seem legit.

TUNNELS AND TICKETS: Despite extensive speed cameras in Brisbane's tunnels, alarmingly high speeds have been recorded. (Vehicles shown are from file images and there is no suggestion they were speeding). Source: The Courier-Mail

I really wish they raised the limit to at least 130kph in the tunnels.

One could only imagine the orchestra we could create <3
