There are fewer deaths on New South Wales roads following the instalment of speed cameras, according to a new report, which cites a drop in fatalities and crashes.
The first annual review of speed cameras across the state says fatalities at locations with fixed speed cameras dropped by 87 percent, with crashes declining by 38 percent.
Eighty-eight of the 97 fixed speed cameras in New South Wales have led to a reduction of deaths and injuries in the past five years compared with the five years before they were installed, the report says.
While Gay says it is too early to evaluate point-to-point speed cameras, preliminary indications suggest there is a high level of compliance.
Speeding has been identified as the number one cause of death, with 376 people being killed in 2011. The lowest figure was recorded in 2008 (374 deaths).
