Victoria has now completed the rollout of **35 new road safety cameras**, with the final unit activated at the busy **Dandenong and Clayton Roads intersection in Clayton**.

[VIC’s New Speed Limit RuleFrom 1 July 2025, all Victorian drivers must slow to 40km/h for roadside assistance and tow trucks—bringing the state in line with others.![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/icon/CarExplore-Favicon-2384.ico)CarExploreDylan Anderson![](https://www.carexplore.com.au/content/images/thumbnail/Vic-Slow-Down-Rule-40.webp)](https://www.carexplore.com.au/vics-new-speed-limit-rule/)

## $49.4 Million Camera Rollout Complete

This marks the conclusion of a **$49.4 million investment** by the **Allan Labor Government** aimed at reducing crashes and road trauma by improving traffic law enforcement.

The newly activated cameras monitor **red-light running and speeding**, two of the most common factors in intersection crashes.

## Evidence-Backed Safety Results

According to the **Monash University Accident Research Centre**, intersections fitted with speed and red-light cameras see a **47% drop in crashes**. Speed remains a major contributor to road trauma in Victoria, responsible for roughly **100 deaths and 2,000 serious injuries each year**.

Small increases in speed have a significant impact:

- Driving **3km/h over the limit** raises crash risk by **25%**
- Travelling **65km/h in a 60km/h zone** doubles the crash risk

## Where the Revenue Goes

Revenue from road safety camera fines is directed to the **Better Roads Victoria Trust**, where it funds road upgrades, bridge repairs, and safety improvements across the state.

## Road Safety Action Plan

The new cameras form part of the Government’s second **Road Safety Action Plan**, which includes:

- Over **$1.1 billion** in funding over four years
- **$350 million** targeting distracted driving and seatbelt enforcement
- Expansion of camera programs to high-risk areas

These initiatives are designed to reduce fatalities, serious injuries, and unsafe driving behaviours across Victoria.
