Three of Auckland and Northland's worst crash blackspots are about to get fixed cameras as police crack down on speeding drivers.
This month teams will begin to install cameras on Ngapipi Rd in Orakei, Old North Rd in Kumeu and the Twin Coast Discovery Highway in Kaiwaka, Northland.
National manager
of road policing Superintendent Steve Greally said the cameras were an important part of the government's Safer Journeys road safety strategy.
"In many cases a crash can be significantly less severe or even completely avoided if the drivers involved reduce their speed.
"Police speed enforcement is just one of the measures which is effective in encouraging safer speeds and reducing deaths and serious injuries on our roads. These new static fixed cameras will go a long way in helping us to do exactly that," he said.
