From Australia Day 2025, drivers detected breaking the law will first receive caution notices before full enforcement begins later in the year. ## Strong Focus on Road Safety Acting Road Safety Commissioner Rebecca Hamilton said the new cameras represent a "game changer" for WA road safety, helping to catch multiple high-risk behaviours simultaneously. All fines collected from these cameras will go directly into the Road Trauma Trust Account, funding initiatives to further improve road safety. During a recent trial of a mobile camera at Salter Point, authorities recorded over 6,300 mobile phone offences and 5,100 seatbelt breaches in a short period. Had fines been issued, it could have generated between $5 million and $10 million.
