The ACT Government conducts internal analysis of expected revenue from road safety cameras as part the normal budget process. Current and forward estimates of road safety camera revenue is included in the ACT Budget.
The Monash University Accident Research Centre was engaged by the Justice and Community Safety Directorate to undertake an evaluation of the ACT road safety camera program. The evaluation examined the performance of the mobile and point to point cameras over the period October 1999 to September 2017. The evaluation focused on the effectiveness of the camera program on reducing crashes and speed and identified opportunities for further improvements in the management, operation and make-up of the program. The evaluation report was released on 20 June 2019 and is available at: https://www.justice.act.gov.au/sites/default/files/resources/uploads/JACS/Report_-_Evaluation_of_the_ACT_Road_Safety_Camera_Program.PDF.
The evaluation found that each type of road safety camera is associated with crash reduction and cost savings. Mobile speed cameras were found to be the most beneficial element of the ACT road safety camera program and was found to have reduced crashes by 22% crash in a 12-month period (October 2016 to September 2017). Use of mobile speed cameras each year was equated to:
• the prevention of some 120 casualty crashes that could have resulted in a fatality or injury;
• the prevention of some 2,900 property damage crashes (i.e a crash where there is no serious injury or death); and
• more than $60 million in crash costs (i.e. costs of road trauma in the community) saved each year for the Canberra community.
Decisions to expand the ACT road safety camera program are driven by opportunities to improve road safety outcomes for the ACT community. The ACT Government will expand the road safety camera program by an additional two mobile cameras. This decision was made following strategic analysis in the evaluation that identified potential for a cost-effective expansion of the program to produce further road trauma savings. The expansion of two mobile cameras is expected to prevent an additional 11 casualty crashes and over 170 property crashes per year.
