The State Government has announced it will trial speed cameras in school zones and roadworks sites in an effort to reduce accidents.<\/p>\n

Transport Minister Mark Bailey said the government will roll out the hi-tech cameras on the back of shocking figures from Queensland\u2019s school zones and roadworks areas.<\/p>\n

“In just over 12 months to February this year, 1484 drivers were clocked doing more than 20km\/h over the speed limit in school zones across Queensland,” Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t want to see another roadworker killed, or someone\u2019s child badly injured on their way to school, because of the reckless actions of a speeding driver.<\/p>\n

“Speeding remains one of the leading causes of crashes in this State and it is vital we do what we can to protect our vulnerable students and roadworkers.”<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said the pilot program will use high-tech cameras that are small enough to be mounted on solar-powered flashing road and street signs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from speeding motorists, the cameras will also be able to record when a school crossing supervisor enters the roadway, and capture any near misses or high-risk incidents.<\/p>\n

Mr Bailey said TMR would manage the pilot program in partnership with the Queensland Police Service, and the first set of cameras will be rotated across 24 prioritised high-risk school zones.<\/p>\n

“Cameras will also be available for roadwork sites, including Bruce Highway Upgrade Program roadworks,” Mr Bailey said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
