3. Before and after analysis of speed and crash statistics will be used as part of the evaluation process for the new fixed speed-only cameras on midblocks.
It is envisaged that the number of fixed speed cameras will gradually increase over time, as part of speed management initiatives under the ACT Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan.
4. The speed/red light camera located at the Northbourne Avenue and Antill Street intersection is being replaced. The introduction of an on-road cycle lane through this intersection has necessitated the realignment of the traffic lanes and the traffic camera loop detectors. The existing camera has been in service for over six years and was only designed to capture images in two traffic lanes. This opportunity is being used to install the latest technology which allows images to be captured for offending vehicles in all four traffic lanes, including the right turn lane.
