QUEENSLAND'S most lucrative bank of speed cameras caught more than 126,000 lead-footed motorists in less than a year of operation.
The cameras at Loganholme on the Pacific Motorway caught more than twice as many speeding motorists than the rest of the state's fixed speed cameras combined last financial year.
Police figures confirm a vast gulf between the Loganholme cameras and the next most lucrative cameras at Main St, Kangaroo Point (11,459), the Clem7 tunnel (10,927) and Gateway Motorway at Nudgee (9284).
Acting Chief Superintendent Andy Morrow said the Loganholme cameras were installed in August last year because the area was a black spot for speeding and crashes.
"There was all sorts of problems with hoons doing rolling blockages where they were blocking traffic then using that area around Loganholme as a drag strip," Supt Morrow said. "We had a number of fatalities and serious road crashes around the same time."
