How many accidents are needed at proposed safety camera enforcement sites?
The guidelines for the proposed core sites of safety cameras have been developed to have the most positive road safety benefits. At sites where fixed speed camera enforcement is proposed, we use the guideline of three collisions resulting in people being killed or seriously injured over the previous three years at those sites. For mobile speed camera, red light camera and combined red light and speed camera sites at least one collision must have resulted in a person being killed or seriously injured. This does not preclude cameras being placed at sites that do not meet the guidelines if they contribute to the overall strategy aimed at reducing road accident casualties.
