Speed 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:

A number of factors have contributed to the increase in mobile speed camera detection per traffic volume rate. Greater emphasis has been placed on traffic intelligence and planning in determining mobile speed camera deployments. This has resulted in deployments in locations with lower traffic volume relative to the number of speed detections. The introduction of infrared flashes for mobile speed cameras has resulted in an increase in night time detections.
