Point-to-point speed cameras ... straight ahead
Source: ACT. Transport Minister. Media Release.
"Point-to-point speed cameras, which can determine whether a driver has been speeding at any point along a stretch of road, will be installed in the ACT, Transport Minister Jon Stanhope said. The cameras, which clock a vehicle at two separate points and then calculate whether it could have travelled the distance without speeding, encourage drivers to be conscious of their speed at all times - not just when they are within range of a speed camera. The cameras are one of a suite of approaches to road safety Mr Stanhope said he intended to pursue, in a bid to reduce the social and financial toll of road deaths and injuries. "It is likely that at least 10 people will die on Territory roads this year," Mr Stanhope said. "Another 500 of us will require medical treatment as a result of road accidents and some of those injuries will result in lifelong disability and loss of quality of life."
