A section of road on Athllon Drive between Drakeford Drive and Beasley Street has been chosen for the second point to point camera site in the ACT.
Executive Director Transport Policy and Regulation, Karen Greenland commented that funding was provided for a second point to point camera site and tenders for the work will soon be called for.
“Point to point cameras installed on Hindmarsh Drive commenced operation in February and we expect cameras to be installed at the second site later this year,” Ms Greenland said.
Ms Greenland commented that an ACT Forward Design Study, released in September 2010, confirmed that point to point systems are effective in reducing the number and severity of crashes, and are able to improve speed compliance within the enforced area.
“During the five years 2006 to 2010 there were 246 crashes on this section of road, including 24 injury crashes and 1 fatal crash.” Ms Greenland said.
