The New South Wales Government has begun an audit this week of the state’s speed camera network.The announcement follows news last week that the new government has ordered the Roads & Traffic Authority to reverse a decision to axe the state’s margin of error on speeding.Premier Barry O’Farrell said this week that the NSW Auditor-General will investigate whether the state’s cameras are positioned to raise revenue or to best ensure road safety.“The Liberal-National Party is not interested in revenue raising. The Liberal-National Party are interested in better road safety outcomes,” Mr O’Farrell said.“That’s why we’ve written to the Auditor-General today, asking for this review of speed cameras across the state.”New South Wales currently has 172 fixed cameras, six mobile cameras and 60 speed/red-light safety cameras in operation across the state.NRMA Motoring & Services President Wendy Machin welcomed the review, describing it as a move “that will go a long way to restoring [motorist] confidence.”“The community needs to feel confident that these cameras are there to save lives and not to raise revenue,” Ms Machin said.What’s your say? Is this a necessary investigation or a waste of money by the NSW Government?
