SA - MORE than 11,000 drivers were caught speeding on the South Eastern Freeway in one week

MORE than 11,000 drivers were caught speeding on the South Eastern Freeway in one week

Road Safety Minister Jennifer Rankine says there are "no plans" to widen the use of two new fixed speed cameras targeting truckies.

Transport Department data shows that, of the 152,602 vehicles that descended the freeway into Adelaide on July 9, 11,140 had exceeded 105km/h. Laser devices at the top and bottom of the freeway determine the speed of all vehicles.

Two speed cameras installed on the down track, at the Crafers interchange and at the Mt Osmond exit, primarily to photograph speeding trucks once the cameras are commissioned and handed over to police, they will be used to photograph all speeding vehicles.

Mr Gelston said because the cameras were the first of their kind in the country, the regulations for prosecution had to be put in place.
