No new cameras for killer black spots
The fixed cameras, which are mainly in the metropolitan area and
have been rolled out over the past year, including eight last month,
are to catch drivers who run red lights and those who speed through an
intersection.But Linda Skinner, whose brother was killed by a driver
who ran a red light at a Bayswater intersection 12 years ago, said
revenue raising was a likely reason for the placement of cameras at
certain intersections.Ms Skinner said she was disappointed but not
surprised to learn that less than a third of casualty hot spots were
monitored by the cameras.
"(Most of the cameras) probably cover areas where they're more
likely to pick up a maximum number of speeders and people who run red
lights," she said."If they were fully committed to improving safety on

affair, the discussion went on for some more time. they would be
putting the cameras where there is a high incidence of these injuries
and accidents."
Opposition road safety spokeswoman Margaret Quirk said putting
cameras at intersections with a high injury toll was a "no brainer".
"It would seem logical to roll these cameras out at sites where there
was a history of frequent crashes,The special processing embedding

Enhanced Speed Enforcement Program, said the Office of Road Safety had
commissioned expert advice, including statistical analysis and
modelling, to determine the placement of cameras.polo outletoffers a world of luxury and comfort in men's and women's clothing.
He said road layout, power issues, a lack of suitable locations for
the camera and metal in or under the road surface meant cameras were
not suited to all intersections. Others already had standard red-light
cameras.ORS executive director Iain Cameron said dual-use cameras were
just one tool to reduce crashes. "Which tools are right for each
intersection depends on a variety of factors," he said.
Road Safety Minister Rob Johnson said some high-casualty
intersections were being upgraded and that had alleviated the need for
cameras, including the Tonkin Highway-Horrie Miller Drive intersection
where there were 71 casualty crashes from January 2006 to December
2010.Mother-of-four Dione Baldwin, who lives on Nicholson Rd near the
intersection of Albany Highway, said she had seen cars crash on to
kerbs and run into poles at the junction where 52 casualty crashes had
occurred in the past five years.
