New speed, seatbelt and mobile phone cameras to roll out on Queensland roads

Anyone driving on Queensland roads can anticipate to see much more cell, seatbelt, velocity and pink mild cameras over the subsequent few years.

Last yr, cameras pulled in additional than $800 million in high-quality income for the federal government.

Now, the Camera Detected Offence Program is getting an enormous funding increase, 9News has confirmed.

The Cabinet Budget Review Committee authorised $499.85 million to be given to the Transport and Main Roads Department for digital camera initiatives, with 39 full-time workers to be funded.

Millions extra can even be given to police and treasury.

However, Transport customer support centres weren’t as fortunate.

The committee rejected a $129.56 million proposal to fund 150 workers to useful resource customer support centres.

The authorities says any cash that’s raised from visitors cameras by legislation must be reinvested in visitors security.
