1746 - RELOCATION OF MCCAFFREY DRIVE SPEED CAMERA

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Transport and Roads

Considering that recent data has shown that the McCaffrey Drive, Rankin Park, speed camera has seen a 367 per cent rise in casualty crashes since the camera was installed in the last 5 years and that further along McCaffrey Drive there have been a number of fatal crashes in the last 5 years, will the Minister consider relocating the camera to the area where these accidents have been occurring?

 
Answer -

I am advised:

There are no plans to relocate the Rankin park fixed speed camera. A comprehensive review in 2013 recommended retention of the camera, as it reduced speeds and improved road safety. The review found there was a reduction in the rate of crashes once the increased traffic volume was taken into account.

Speeding infringements at this location have fallen from 600 per month to around 50.

There have been no serious injury or fatality crashes at this location since the comprehensive review was completed in 2013. This indicates that the camera continues to deliver road safety benefits.
