These trailer-mounted, highly visible speed cameras are specifically designed to deter speeding and reduce road trauma throughout the state. [QLD Rolls Out New Speed CamerasQLD trials smart speed cameras in school zones and roadworks to improve safety and reduce speeding. Fines apply from now until July 2025.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-1989.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/QLD-Mobile-SPeed-Cameras.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/qld-rolls-out-new-speed-cameras/) ### What Are TRSCs? Transportable Road Safety Cameras are mobile, trailer-mounted devices capable of enforcing speed limits in both directions of travel. Operated by an authorised service provider, these cameras are deployed in school zones, roadworks, highways, and other crash-prone locations. Unlike covert speed detection, TRSCs are highly visible and aim to influence driver behaviour not only at the camera site but across the wider road network. ### Accuracy and Verification Each TRSC undergoes strict calibration and verification: - Cameras are independently calibrated annually. - Before going into enforcement mode, their accuracy is validated against another speed detection device. - Every recorded offence undergoes a secondary verification using time-over-distance calculations. - The Queensland Revenue Office finalises each offence through a thorough adjudication process. Motorists can request a calibration certificate via the Department of Transport and Main Roads for additional peace of mind. ### Site Selection and Movement Site selection follows stringent safety and engineering criteria. All potential TRSC locations must: - Show a history or risk of speed-related crashes - Be approved by a Registered Professional Engineer of Queensland (RPEQ) - Have a site layout plan to ensure deployment safety The cameras are rotated through regional bases including Longreach, Mackay, Rockhampton, Toowoomba, Townsville, Emerald, and Gympie. This frequent relocation increases their deterrent effect. [How a QLD Man Lost His License InstantlyQueensland police suspended a Tesla driver’s licence on the spot after he was caught speeding at 92km/h in a 40km/h school zone, calling it “inexcusable.”![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-1990.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/Tesla-QLD-Man-Loses-license-69.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/how-a-qld-man-lost-his-license-instantly/) ### Security Measures To prevent theft and vandalism, each TRSC trailer is equipped with: - 24/7 GPS location monitoring - 360-degree CCTV - Audible alarms and live monitoring systems ### Infringement Process Speeding offences detected by TRSCs are reviewed by specially trained officers before infringements are issued. Key details include: - Infringement notices provide 28 days for response - Options include paying the fine, nominating another driver, or electing to go to court - Fines can be disputed using official court election forms (Form F5111) Revenue from TRSC fines supports critical road safety initiatives across Queensland, such as infrastructure upgrades and public education campaigns. ### Final Notes The TRSC program forms a critical component of Queensland's broader road safety strategy. By improving speed compliance in high-risk areas, these cameras play a vital role in protecting all road users, from motorists to schoolchildren and roadworkers alike. --- [QLD Woman Dead, Man Shot After Violent Bruce Highway CrashA woman has died and two others are injured after a violent multi-car crash on the Bruce Highway.
