Speed cameras have been a staple of Australian road safety since the 1980s, when mobile speed camera trials began in Victoria. Though the early trials didn’t immediately reduce crashes, they paved the way for wider adoption of fixed and mobile enforcement, which now plays a critical role in reducing speeding-related road trauma.

Today, Australia is home to 1400+ speed cameras, placing it 14th globally. For context, Brazil leads the world with over 19,000 fixed and red-light cameras, according to the Speed Camera DataBase (SCDB).

Here’s a breakdown of the most speed camera-heavy routes in each Australian state and territory:
