From 1 July 2025, both light and heavy vehicles are now subject to penalties for speeding at two average speed camera trial sites in regional [New South Wales](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/new-south-wales/). This marks the first time the technology has been extended beyond heavy vehicles.

[NSW’s Speed Camera Change For All DriversNSW expands average speed cameras to light vehicles. Speeding drops up to 48% in trial. Fines start from July 1, 2025.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-2808.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/NSW-Bold-Speed-Camera-Change.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/nsws-speed-camera-change-for-all-drivers/)

## **Trial Overview**

The trial is part of the Minns Labor Government's ongoing road safety efforts. Average speed cameras, which have enforced offences for heavy vehicles since 2011, are now monitoring all vehicles on two highway segments:

- A 15km stretch of the Pacific Highway between Kew and Lake Innes (Port Macquarie)
- A 16km stretch of the Hume Highway between Coolac and Gundagai

## **Results from the Warning Period**

Before enforcement began, a two-month warning period was conducted. During this time:

- In the first week, 1 in every 122 light vehicle drivers was detected speeding at both trial sites.
- By the seventh week, the Pacific Highway saw a 48% reduction in detected speeding (1 in 235 drivers), while the Hume Highway saw a 37% reduction (1 in 194 drivers).

During this period, fines were only issued for speeding more than 30 km/h over the limit. In total:

- 9 fines were issued on the Pacific Highway
- 3 fines were issued on the Hume Highway

## **Purpose of the Trial**

The trial aims to determine whether average speed enforcement can reduce speeding among everyday drivers. Following this initial phase, warning letters have been replaced with enforcement.

[NSW Drivers Prepare For Huge Toll Shake-UpNSW drivers brace for big toll changes with new public roads, rising revenues, and a $60 weekly cap easing costs.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-2809.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/NSW-Toll-Shake-up-2.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/nsw-drivers-prepare-for-huge-toll-shake-up/)

All fine revenue collected from speeding, red-light, mobile phone, and seatbelt offences is directed into the Community Road Safety Fund. This fund supports priority safety programs and initiatives throughout NSW.

## **Ongoing Enforcement**

Outside of these trial locations, average speed cameras across the state will continue to monitor only heavy vehicle speeds. The trial follows commitments made at the 2024 Road Safety Forum and seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of wider enforcement.
