- Four unmarked speed cameras founded parked on Biggs Street in Melbourne

- The footage has stunned motorists online, with many condemning the vehicles
A stunned motorist has spotted four mobile speed cameras stationed on the same street – with one even posing as a P-plater.
The group of unmarked vehicles were parked within 100metres of each other on the Biggs Street footpath in St Albans, north-west of Melbourne, Victoria on Tuesday.
The first was a red Nissan Pathfinder parked on the left side of the road with a high-tech camera poking out from the back window.
A few steps ahead was a second mobile camera – tucked away inside a red Mitsubishi Outlander.

Next was a car with a provisional plate.
‘He’s a P-plater the cheeky bugger’, the man filming the video said.
‘I’ve never seen this before!’
A green P-plate was slapped onto the back window of the grey Kia Sorrento next to the mobile camera set-up.
The driver then came across the final vehicle – a black Kia Sorrento at the end of the road.

‘The fourth one right over here, have a look at this bloke’, he said.
‘All on one street, this is unbelievable.’
Despite Biggs St being a government approved mobile camera location, the footage has shocked Australian motorists, with some condemning the unmarked cameras.
‘They should get all fines issues to them for parking in the nature strip,’ one commented on Facebook.
‘Surely that’s against the law to be so many that close,’ another said.
Other motorists believe the four vehicles were undergoing a training course.
‘Surely it’s training and/or calibrating the equipment’, one argued.
‘This is near our place. Everyone freaking out why there’s 4 of them, they are training new staff. A few weeks ago there was about 7 or 8,’ a woman said.
The Department of Justice and Community Safety confirmed that a mobile camera can legally park on a footpath.
‘While using a mobile camera, the operator can park the vehicle on a footpath, a nature strip or a dividing strip.’
‘There are no technical or legal restrictions on placing a mobile road safety camera on a slope, gradient or hill.’
