33 new speeding cameras locations disclosed

Written by IWK Bureau | May 11, 2017 1:45:19 AM

33 additional speed cameras are being installed around the country and their location has been revealed.

The $10 million project, signalled in July 2013, will put up to 56 digital cameras in areas across the country with the highest risk of speed-related crashes, based on detailed independent analysis as part of the Government's Safer Journeys road safety strategy.

Fifteen cameras had already been installed but the tender for another 33 was awarded to Downer this week. The remainder are yet to be announced.

National manager of road policing, Superintendent Steve Greally, said each site was carefully selected after detailed analysis by independent experts and consultation with territorial authorities and local communities.

The cameras would be installed over the coming months.

The cameras should begin operating from early next year, subject to progress on site works, engineering assessments and testing.

The money from speeding fines did not go to the police, but to the government's consolidated fund.
