There are 28 fixed road safety cameras across the state that enforce in 40 km/h zones. In addition to these cameras, mobile cameras continue to enforce speed in 40km/h zones.
The 40km/h zones are located in places with a high concentration of pedestrians (near schools and shopping strips) and also where road work is being undertaken.
Research [1] has shown that a pedestrian who is struck by a vehicle travelling at 40km/h has a much higher chance of survival than if the vehicle was travelling at 60km/h.
The road safety cameras provide a significant deterrent and the number of people caught speeding or running red lights in these zones has decreased since the cameras were introduced in 2014.
The map below displays the location of all fixed road safety cameras that enforce in 40km/h zones.
The table below displays crash data over five years from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2020 for the 28 locations that enforce a 40km/h limit with a fixed digital road safety camera.
