Road Safety Cameras

In reply to Mr WINGARD (Mitchell) (27 July 2015). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety): I have been advised:

This budget line refers to final payments to the safety camera supplier for four safety cameras installed at school pedestrian crossings during 2014-15. Funding was from the Motor Accident Commission Road Safety Fund.

The sites are:

Antonio Catholic School, Morphett Vale;

St Agnes Primary School, St Agnes;

Hamilton Secondary College, Mitchell Park; and

Norwood Morialta High School—Middle Campus, Rostrevor.

The crash analysis utilised in identifying these four sites for installation was the five year crash data from 2008 to 2012. This analysis identified these four sites as recording eight crashes in total including one fatality, three minor injury and four property damage crashes. The speed limit at these sites is 60 km/h.

There are also two sites planned for installation during 2015-16 and the locations are yet to be finalised. It is expected that final project planning, service identification and civil construction will commence later in 2015. These two sites will be highlighted on the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure's safety camera information web page once final identification is complete.
