nsw More warning for NSW mobile speed cameras

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8411123/more-warning-for-nsw-mobile-speed-cameras

NSW motorists are to get earlier warning of "sneaky" mobile speed cameras.

State roads minister Duncan Gay has ordered bigger signs in camera locations, to eliminate "that whole feeling of entrapment" some drivers experience.

"Sneakiness in this area certainly does concern me," Mr Gay told the Seven Network on Monday.

"Road safety should have a deterrent role."

Private firm Redflex began operating six mobile speed cameras in July 2010, on a contract for the NSW government.

But the Seven Network has reported concerns that motorists are being given little or no notice when they are approaching the devices.

Mr Gay said he had ordered Roads and Maritime Services to replace the old signs.

"I've instructed the department to put in place larger signs, further away from these cameras," he said.
