Red and light speed cameras are now in place on the Stuart Highway in Darwin.
Red and light speed cameras are now in place on the Stuart Highway in Darwin.
They were turned on yesterday at the Jenkins Road intersection following concerns raised by local residents earlier this year.
It follows the lowering of the speed limit from 110km/h to 100km/h.
Northern Territory Transport Minister Peter Styles says the Government has received several reports from the public about drivers’ running through red traffic lights.
“In consultation with the Northern Territory police, fire and emergency services and the Department of Infrastructure, we deemed it would be appropriate to install both the red light and speed camera,” Styles says.
“The reduced speed limit and the placement of red light speed cameras will address poor driver behaviour and see a safer Territory.”
