Speed cameras only for most dangerous roads - Genter

From Morning Report, 7:10 am on 13 June 2019

The government won't be signing off on a vast increase in the number of speed cameras, unless they're well sign-posted.

On Wednesday, RNZ revealed the government has been advised to look into adopting the Swedish method of speed camera use, which would mean hundreds more cameras and much larger fines.

While critics of the plan say it would be a revenue grab, the Associate Transport Minister says a perfect camera system wouldn't generate a cent.

RNZ transport reporter Ben Strang has the story.
