Fixed warning signs for mobile speed cameras will be introduced across New South Wales, Australia, this month, to remind drivers they can be caught speeding anywhere, anytime.
Minister for Transport and Roads Andrew Constance said around 1,000 permanent static signs will supplement messaging on the existing 360 variable message signs and a comprehensive advertising campaign.
“We are already seeing a change in driver behaviour, with three and a half drivers caught by the cameras per hour of enforcement in June, compared with five drivers per hour in February, and we want that downward trend to continue with these new signs,” said Constance.
“Speeding is the biggest killer on our roads, with almost 50 percent of fatalities last year caused by someone travelling at an inappropriate speed. This year that has already dropped to around 40 percent.”
