Reducing speeds in these vulnerable zones is crucial to improving road safety outcomes. In 2023, Queensland recorded 277 road fatalities, with speeding contributing to 88 deaths—over 30% of the total. ## How the Cameras Work ### School Zones: - Cameras are mounted on flashing school zone signs. - They operate only during active school zone hours. - Activation occurs when school crossing supervisors step onto the roadway. - The cameras record near-misses and traffic incidents to enhance safety monitoring. ### Roadworks: - Cameras are mounted on mobile smart tracked platforms. - Units operate 24/7 when deployed. - They monitor vehicles entering altered traffic conditions. The cameras complement existing safety measures like reduced speed limits and physical signage to reduce crash risks. ## Fines and Enforcement Motorists caught speeding by these cameras may face fines and demerit points. Revenue collected through fines is allocated to the Camera Detected Offence Program, which funds: - Safer road infrastructure improvements - Road safety education initiatives - Queensland Health blood product support This allocation is mandated under the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995.

Only authorised personnel review the footage, which is stored securely under the Information Privacy Act 2009. ## Broader Road Safety Strategy The pilot supports Queensland's Targeted Road Safety Program and Road Safety Action Plan 2022–24\. It is part of a larger effort to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities on Queensland roads, particularly in zones where vulnerable road users are at greater risk.
