The government will remove warning signs for NSW mobile speed cameras over the next 12 months, bringing the state into line with the rest of Australia.
Police or private contractors usually place the signs 250m and 50m in front of concealed police cars and mobile speed camera units.
The government says removing the warnings will force motorists to drive more carefully at all times.
State budget papers predict removing the warning signs for NSW mobile speed cameras will raise 4.5 per cent more in revenue in 2021.
In other words, they are expecting more motorists to get caught once the signs are removed.
Fine revenue from all mobile camera detected speeding offences is directed to the Community Road Safety Fund to support road safety initiatives.
With the international borders closed, thousands of Australians will embark on a road trip over the Christmas holidays.
If you’re one of them, make sure you stick to the speed limit at all times.
Anyone caught speeding in NSW and issued a fine will incur a fine and licence demerit points.
The fines start at $121 for drivers caught going more than 10km/h above the speed limit.
Learner and P1 licence holders will have their licence suspended for at least three months for any speeding offence.
On declared public holiday long weekend periods NSW doubles the demerit points for all speeding, seat belt, child restraint and helmet offences.
