From 1 July 2025, both light and heavy vehicles will receive penalties for speeding at two trial sites in regional [New South Wales](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/new-south-wales/). This marks the first time average speed cameras in the state are enforcing speed limits for light vehicles.

### Trial Sites and Camera Coverage

Average speed cameras have enforced speed offences for heavy vehicles in NSW since 2011\. As part of this new trial, these cameras are now also monitoring light vehicles:

- **Pacific Highway:** 15 km stretch between Kew and Lake Innes (Port Macquarie)
- **Hume Highway:** 16 km stretch between Coolac and Gundagai

### Impact During Warning Period

Data from the two-month warning period shows a significant reduction in speeding at these locations:

- In the **first week**, one in every 122 light vehicle drivers was detected speeding on both trial sites.
- By the **seventh week**, there was a 48% improvement on the Pacific Highway (down to one in every 235 drivers) and a 37% improvement on the Hume Highway (down to one in every 194 drivers).

During this period, fines were only issued to drivers exceeding the speed limit by more than 30 km/h, resulting in:

- **Pacific Highway:** 9 fines issued
- **Hume Highway:** 3 fines issued

### Use of Fine Revenue

All revenue from camera-detected offences, including speeding, red-light, mobile phone use, and seatbelt violations, goes into the Community Road Safety Fund. This fund is used to support priority road safety programs and initiatives across NSW.

### Next Steps in the Trial

Switching from warning letters to active enforcement at these two locations is the next phase of this trial, which was committed to after the 2024 Road Safety Forum. All other average speed cameras in NSW will continue to enforce speed compliance only for heavy vehicles.
