From July 1, drivers across [New South Wales](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/new-south-wales/) will face new enforcement measures as average speed cameras on two stretches of road begin issuing fines. These cameras, previously operating in a warning phase, will now penalise light vehicle drivers exceeding speed limits.

[These NSW Drivers Removed a Demerit PointOver 1 million NSW drivers rewarded with demerit point removal in 2025, as the state expands road safety programs and tightens enforcement rules.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-2749.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/NSW-Demerit-Point-Million.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/these-nsw-drivers-removed-a-demerit-point/)

### Locations and technology

The two locations selected for this rollout are:

- A 15 km stretch on the Pacific Highway between Kew and Lake Innes on the Mid North Coast.
- A 16 km stretch on the Hume Highway between Coolac and Gundagai in the state's south.

These sites were chosen due to their crash history. The cameras record a vehicle’s entry and exit times at two points and calculate the average speed over the distance. If this exceeds the posted limit, fines and demerit points will apply.

### End of grace period

For the past two months, these average speed cameras have monitored all vehicles and issued warning letters to those caught speeding, except for drivers detected at more than 30 km/h over the limit. As of July 1, this grace period has ended, and standard penalties are now enforced.

### NSW speeding fines for light vehicles

| Speed over limit | Unrestricted licence | Learner or P1/P2 licence |
| ---------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ |
| 10 km/h or less  | $145, 1 point        | $145, 4 points           |
| 10-20 km/h       | $334, 3 points       | $334, 4 points           |
| 20-30 km/h       | $574, 4 points       | $574, 4 points           |
| 30-45 km/h       | $1,097, 5 points     | $1,097, 5 points         |
| Over 45 km/h     | $2,959, 6 points     | $2,959, 6 points         |

These penalties may increase in line with the Consumer Price Index adjustments.

### Aim of the program

Transport for NSW says the program is designed to encourage drivers to maintain safe speeds over longer distances, not just slow down near fixed cameras. The broader goal is to reduce crashes caused by speeding across the state.
