Police to get new "concept cars"
Updated Sun May 13, 2012 2:13pm AEST
Police will get 49 of the new so-called "concept cars". The vehicles have equipment which can recognise number plates and identify speeding motorists.
MAP: Perth
The State Government has promised to spend almost 90 million dollars on road safety.
The money will come from the Road Trauma Trust Account, which is partly funded by speed camera revenue.
Among the initiatives is almost $22-million to upgrade Perth intersections, and more than $20-million for regional and remote roads.
The Police Minister, Rob Johnson, announced the measures ahead of this week's budget.
A feature of the announcement is notice of 49 new so-called "concept cars", which Mr Johnson says are the most advanced of their kind in the world.
The cars are fitted with equipment which can identify speeding motorists and stolen vehicles as well as access police information systems and video recording gear.
The equipment can check up to 1,200 vehicle registration plates per hour, compared with about 300 checks per day which can be performed by manual in-car computers.
WA police will also trial two new "concept" motorbikes.
