A new report from the NSW Centre for Road Safety -- a NSW Government body founded in 2007 to "change cultural values on road safety in NSW" and "convince drivers that speeding is socially unacceptable" -- has found that both fixed and mobile speed cameras, and red-light speed cameras, are having a positive impact on the state's motor vehicle accident statistics.
In 2011 fixed speed cameras issued 313,840 infringement notices with fine revenue totalling $51.32m. In the same year, the use of mobile speed cameras generated some 16,544 tickets worth $2.58m, while red-light safety cameras issued 156,790 infringements with a total fine revenue of $42.1m. Point-to-point speed cameras led to 289 infringements in 2011, totalling fine revenue of $83,782.
The report ends with summary of the massive expansion of the state's speed camera numbers in coming months, including:
- An additional 500 mobile 'high-risk' speed camera locations
- A rise in mobile speed camera vehicles from six to around 45 by July 2012 (operating at 2500 locations for a total of around 7000 hours each month)
- An increase in red-light speed camera locations from 91 to 200 by the end of 2014
- The installation of two new point-to-point speed camera sections on the Pacific Highway, between Tyndale and Harwood and Wardell and Ballina
