WA Camera blitz slows drivers

Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan believes a big rise in the number of cars monitored by speed cameras is changing driver behaviour, with new figures showing a significant fall in the percentage of motorists caught speeding.

"I can tell you where I see it most - the red light speed cameras," Mr O'Callaghan said.

"The community quickly work out where they are, and if you follow them around to these intersections, you can see them baulking and slowing down as they approach these intersections because they know the cameras are there. There is no doubt it is changing driver behaviour because they know how effective these cameras are.

"I think the Vitronic, fixed and red light speed cameras have had an enormous impact, as have the static cameras on the freeway."
