This marks the start of a two-month trial period in which the cameras will operate in **warning mode** only. Full enforcement will begin on **July 1, 2025**. [NSW Rolls Out Bold Demerit Point SchemeOver one million NSW drivers had a demerit point removed in 2025 for safe driving under the state’s reward-based road safety initiative.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-2332.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/NSW-Police-Recruit-1-3.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/nsw-rolls-out-bold-demerit-point-scheme/) ## Trial Locations The trial applies to: - A **15km stretch on the Pacific Highway** between **Kew and Lake Innes** - A **16km stretch on the Hume Highway** between **Coolac and Gundagai** During the warning period, drivers exceeding the speed limit will receive a **warning letter**. No fines or demerit points will be issued until enforcement officially begins on July 1\. Existing enforcement for **heavy vehicles** at these locations will continue as usual throughout the trial. ## What Happens After July 1? From July 1, light vehicle drivers detected speeding by the average speed cameras will be issued **fines** and **demerit point penalties**. The cameras will calculate a vehicle’s average speed over the designated highway sections, ensuring continuous compliance with posted speed limits. ## Background and Road Safety Data The implementation follows safety concerns at both locations. Between **2018 and 2022**, there were **six fatalities** and **33 serious injuries** recorded across the two highway sections involved in the trial.

According to state data, **speed has contributed to 41% of all road deaths in the past decade**. ## Statewide Awareness and Safety Measures To support the rollout, **warning signs** have been installed at average speed camera locations across NSW. These are designed to alert motorists ahead of enforcement and offer an opportunity for drivers to adjust their behaviour before receiving penalties. The move reflects an increasing focus on regional road safety. Regional NSW accounts for **a third of the state’s population** but nearly **two-thirds of all road fatalities**. The NSW Government views this trial as an important step in reducing preventable crashes and ensuring drivers remain accountable across longer stretches of road, not just at individual camera points. **Disclaimer:** *This article is for informational purposes only.
