Remove traffic camera on Los Santos Freeway (exiting the city)

[Danny_V]

I also made an IC inquiry about this which i will put down below:

Dear Sir or Madam, I hope this inquiry finds you well,

on friday the 10th of May, I was enjoying a peaceful ride, seeing the beautiful sights the city and state have to offer. When suddenly I got fined a $500 traffic speed violation. I believe this fine was highly unjustified. I will present my side of the story and why I advocate for the Traffic Camera to be changed so it operates properly, or if that is not possible the removal of the traffic camera all together.

I was driving down Strawberry Avenue in the Direction of Los Santos Freeway. As I Entered the Freeway I turned off my cruisecontrol and started to speed up to continue onto the freeway at a speed that's appropriate for the freeway. I suddenly get fined for going 91Kph in an 80 zone. As I was already ON the freeway, leaving the city, I believe this fine is unjust. This can clearly be seen by the fact that the GPS shows that area marked as Freeway with the yellow coloring of the road. Not only do I wish for this fine to be reimbursed. I would very much like this traffic camera to be removed, or changed in such a way that it no longer fines people for going 90 in a 145 zone.

Thank you for your time in taking this inquiry,
Kind Regards,

Danny Vanderdirk

Basically: this traffic camera charges you for going 96 in a zone that should be a 145 zone. I understand the need for the camera if you're going INTO the city, but having it going both ways make no sense RPly. I would prefer all traffic camera's to be removed, but I get that that may be a longshot. This one specifically, in this direction makes no sense, so i believe this one should be fixed/removed.

You are not onto the highway until after the camera. While it could be removed it's probably better to get used to it or learn how to avoid them.

look at the gps. the road is clearly colored like the freeway is.  (screenshot provided is even before the camera and already it shows it as Freeway)

I say remove it, because there's 0 RP sense for there to be a 80kph traffic camera installed on a freeway where the limit is 145kph.
Or change the way this is portrayed on the GPS so that it doesnt show up as if it is a freeway if you dont want it to be part of the freeway.
Or you could even change it to 145kph instead of the 80 it is at right now. that would also be a solution that makes sense, since that's the legal limit on the Freeway. I'm fine with any of these solutions.

But leaving it as it is, is quite obviously the option that makes the least sense ICly. Sure, i can "get used to" that there's a traffic camera there that shouldn't be there, but I don't want to, I want it fixed, and I'd love it to be gone, That's why I tried the RP route to get rid of it first. I think that chances are quite high that this cannot simply be removed RPly. therefore I posted this OOC suggestion on the forums alongside my IC inquiry.

Hi Danny,

 

Thanks for actually bringing this up. It's an issue that's been bugging me for a while and been meaning to post about it. It is clear you are entering a highway at that point, based on both the GPS and how the road starts to look like at that point. I think there are 2 speed cameras there actually one after the other. So I completely agree with you and think that speed camera needs to be removed!

This seems like an IC issue tbh

The speed cameras were measures put into place to encourage people to drive slower in areas in no crime zone areas where there would be a lot of players and/or cars.
Since those no crime zones have been removed, I don't personally see the need for the speed cameras at all anymore.

If they should perhaps be anywhere, it'd be outside Burger Shot and outside Legion Parking, if that reasoning is still the same but I think it's just good to have people either be caught IC or not caught at all.

get rid of cameras completely, let cops give you tickets instead, doesnt even make sense that the driver is automatically ticketed

Thank you for your suggestion. As this has already been implemented, we will be archiving this.
