The enforcement phase of our trial to expand average speed cameras from heavy vehicles to light vehicles (including cars, motorcycles and utes) commenced on 1 July 2025.
The average speed camera light vehicle trial is being conducted in two separate locations on limited stretches of highway in regional NSW:
- Pacific Highway between Kew and Lake Innes (Port Macquarie) – 15 km between cameras.
- Hume Highway between Coolac and Gundagai – 16 km between cameras.
The trial will assess whether average speed cameras reduce speeding at these locations, improving safety and reducing injuries and fatalities.
The trial began on 1 May 2025 with a two-month warning letter period. During that time, 1 in every 122 light vehicle drivers was detected speeding and issued with a warning letter - on both the Pacific Highway and Hume Highway trial locations.
From 1 July 2025, all speeding offences will be enforced by the average speed cameras.
The communications toolkit has now been updated with new content, including website and social media tiles and a video animation on how average speed cameras work.
We encourage you to use these resources to promote the initiative and help reinforce safe speed messaging across your community and networks.
