Speed camera warningMost states in Australia do not give advanced warnings to drivers that they are approaching a speed camera.  Buty NSW does at the moment but maybe not for long as David Brown reports

The NSW government is considering scraping speed camera warning signs.

This was a recommendation from a recent Auditor-General’s report.

But the report also was critical of major aspects of how the mobile camera program was being managed.

The key issue is that locations should be selected randomly so that the public believes they could be caught anywhere.

But while in 2012 it was announced that the program would be operating at about 2,500 locations. There are currently only around 940 that are approved and suitable.

Some sites are being used frequently. 60 locations were visited more than 500 times in the last five years, eight visited more than a thousand times and one visited nearly 1800 (1,768) times.
