Why this story? One of 9 News Australia's most watched videos since yesterday, with 119,284 views.

Rogue red light camera catching every car

Traffic moves through a busy Southport intersection while a roadside red light camera flashes repeatedly, photographing car after car.

According to 9 News Australia, the malfunctioning Gold Coast camera is catching drivers even when they are obeying the rules. The footage shows normally flowing traffic accompanied by repeated flashes, rather than a single vehicle triggering the camera.

The report says hundreds of drivers are worried an erroneous $677 fine could follow. That is a concern about what might arrive in the post, not confirmation that fines have been issued. The short bulletin does not establish whether any infringement notices resulted from the photographs.

The clip drew roughly 119,000 views since yesterday, making it the broadcaster's most-watched new upload over that period. Its central question for Southport motorists remains unanswered: whether the camera's flashes will translate into penalties.
