Fixed speed cameras on Perth's freeways are a waste of money and should be replaced with devices that measure average speed over a distance, the State Government's speed enforcement adviser warned yesterday.
Professor Max Cameron said he had recommended WA use the point-to-point cameras, which were a greater deterrent to speeding and more cost-effective than fixed cameras.
Jeremy Woolley, from South Australia's Centre for Automotive Safety Research, said point-to-point cameras were the "way of the future". "They are cutting-edge devices and can offer wider road safety benefits," he said.
Police Minister Liza Harvey said analysis of the current police speed enforcement program was needed before any decision was made on point-to-point cameras.
