Have you seen cameras popping up around roads in Cowra?
Cowra Council has put out a notice clarifying the purpose of the cameras residents have seen popping up around the bridge.
The temporary cameras are not being used to track speeds, license plates or mobile phone use, rather Council is measuring the flow of traffic to help the case for an additional bridge.
"We're not clocking your dodgy park job or judging your karaoke solos at the lights" they said, "the traffic cameras are just quietly counting cars over a 24 hour period," the notice said.
The traffic cameras will help provide information about the volume of traffic and will be used alongside Google Maps data.

With agricultural and logistical traffic for the entire region often moving through Cowra to other hubs, Council says it has the opportunity with the low level bridge being shut for repairs to measure the impact the loss of a single lane has on local traffic.
"So drive safe," the notice says, "Wave to the cameras if you like, they're just here for the numbers."
