Two cutting-edge safety camera trailers have been deployed in Albany, set to rotate across the Great Southern region of [Western Australia](https://www.carexplore.com.au/tag/western-australia/) as part of the latest phase of the state's safety camera rollout.

## Advanced Technology Targets Multiple Offences

The new cameras are among the most advanced in Australia, capable of detecting multiple traffic offences at once. They can identify drivers illegally using mobile phones, failing to wear seatbelts correctly, and speeding. The technology can also monitor heavy vehicles and towed vehicles for compliance with their specific 100 km/h speed limits, as well as capture average speed across multiple points.

## Caution Period Before Enforcement

From 10 June 2025, drivers caught committing mobile phone or seatbelt offences by these safety cameras will receive caution notices instead of fines. This initial period aims to educate drivers on the new camera capabilities and allow them time to adjust their behaviour before full enforcement begins.

## Road Safety Continues to be a Priority

Despite long-term declines in road trauma per capita, preventable deaths and injuries still occur on Western Australian roads. The Road Safety Commission emphasizes the importance of shared responsibility within the community to reduce road trauma. Safety cameras are considered one important tool to support broader road safety efforts.

## Expansion to Geraldton and the Mid West

Following the Great Southern deployment, two additional safety camera trailers will be based in Geraldton and deployed across the Mid West region in the next stage of the rollout.

## Funding Supports Broader Safety Initiatives

The entire safety camera program is funded through the Road Trauma Trust Account, ensuring that all revenue from safety camera infringements is reinvested into projects and programs designed to reduce injuries and fatalities on WA roads.
