The camera will monitor for speed and red-light offences.
08 July 2024
From Wednesday 10 July, there will be a fixed traffic camera in place at the intersection of Northbourne Avenue and Bunda Street.
This camera will monitor for speed and red-light offences.
The camera is not an additional one in the fixed camera network. It is a relocation of an existing camera previously installed at the intersection of London Circuit and Northbourne Avenue.
The new location was chosen for several reasons including its proximity to the bus interchange and light rail stop and high level of pedestrian movement in that area.
Road safety cameras detect and deter unsafe driving behaviours and improve pedestrian safety in town centres throughout Canberra.
“Speed cameras play an important role in supporting road safety in the ACT by reducing speeding on our roads and supporting the ACT Government’s Vision Zero strategy,” Access Canberra’s Executive Branch Manager of Service Delivery and Engagement Emily Springett said.
“Speed limits are set to balance the need for safe and expedient travel as numerous studies have shown that ‘low level’ speeding contributes to a significant percentage of road casualties and fatalities in the ACT.”
