- Safe-T-Cam is a network of cameras that monitor heavy vehicle movement on South Australian roads. The cameras are on major arterial roads where they record, verify and store information about heavy vehicles, day and night. The cameras help to detect drivers who: drive a vehicle that is unregistered and uninsured

The majority of fixed speed and red light cameras (previously known as safety cameras) are situated at intersections in built-up areas to enforce both speed limits and compliance with red light signals. In South Australia, almost 50% of all fatal and serious injury crashes in metropolitan areas, and 21% of those in rural areas, occur at ...
Speed and red light cameras operate in South Australia to discourage speeding and red light running. Fixed speed and red light cameras use a sensor in each road lane to detect vehicles passing the camera and to measure travel speeds. Mobile cameras use radar to detect each vehicle’s travel speed.

Average speed is one form of point to point speed detection. It involves measuring the time taken by a vehicle to travel between two camera sites. An image of every vehicle is captured by the first camera, together with a record of the time when the image is taken. The second camera repeats that process. The average speed of the vehicle is calculat...
Actual speed is the speed of the vehicle at a single point in time. Fixed speed cameras such as mid-block safety cameras or safety cameras at traffic signals detect a vehicle’s actual speed as the vehicle passes the part of the camera system that detects speed. Average speed detection involves measuring the time taken by a vehicle to travel between...
Yes, both "Safety Camera Ahead" and "Average Speed Safety Camera Zone" road signs will be displayed at the start and end and at also at intervals throughout the average speed detection area so that drivers are aware of the cameras. This roadside sign displays a camera icon and a warning message which reads “Average Speed Safety Camera Ahead”.
Average speed camera locations are on segments of high risk, inner rural arterial roads, based on risk and exposure on a priority basis. In July 2014, South Australia’s first average speed safety camera zone became operational on Port Wakefield Road; monitoring vehicle speeds between Two Wells and Port Wakefield. This section of highway also has th...
The existing penalty structure for speeding offences in the Road Traffic Act 1961 and the Road Traffic (Miscellaneous) Regulations 2014will apply to average speed safety camera offences. As with all safety cameras, the vehicle’s registration will also be validated and an additional infringement item will be added to the expiation notice if the vehi...
The technology used to detect average speed is extremely accurate. The distance used when calculating a vehicle’s average speed across an average speed safety camera enforcement length will be the shortest practicable distance, which ensures that there is no possibility that a driver’s speed can be overestimated. A registered land surveyor has cert...
The camera site selection criteria aims to improve safety by enforcing speed limits and compliance with traffic signals at high-risk locations and also, through deployment widely across the network, to act as a more general deterrent.
The longer distance over which the speed is measured prevents drivers from slowing down momentarily for a camera before speeding up again. The SAFE-T-CAM system uses this technology, but was designed to only targets heavy vehicles. Newer ANPR cameras in Victoria are able to target any vehicle.
