SPEED CAMERAS NSW Australia
Speed camera support enforcement conducted by NSW Police. They are proven
to change driver behaviour and reduce road trauma.
There are four types of speed cameras used in NSW to encourage drivers to
comply with the speed limit – mobile, red-light speed, fixed and point -to point.
All speed cameras are regularly tested to ensure they are measuring speeds
accurately and fine revenue raised from speed cameras goes directly towards
improving road safety.
MOBILE SPEED CAMERAS
Mobile speed cameras are moved around the road network and are used statewide,
on all types of roads, at all times of day. Like police enforcement, the exact
location of mobile speed camera enforcement is unpredictable.
RED-LIGHT SPEED (SAFETY) CAMERAS
Red light speed cameras are capable of detecting both red light and speeding
offences and are used at high risk intersections. They improve safety by reducing
crashes caused by red-light running and speeding
FIXED SPEED CAMERAS
Fixed speed cameras are used at locations with a crash history or that are identified
as high risk – including blackspots, school zones, tunnels and motorways.
POINT-TO-POINT CAMERAS
Point-to-point speed cameras work by calculating a driver’s average speed between
two points. If the average speed is higher than the posted limit, a speeding
infringement may be issued.
