(4) What was the average annual revenue generated for each type of speed camera or technology identified in part (1) during each financial year since 2008-09 to date.

(5) Has any modelling or analysis been done on revenue and speeding or mobile texting cameras; if so, can the Minister outline the nature of the modelling or analysis, when it was conducting, who conducted the modelling or analysis and the results.

Information on speed detection cameras used by ACT Policing is not released as this may negatively impact on road safety operations and encourage negative driving behaviours.

Since January this year, the monthly average of speeding Traffic Infringement Notices (TINs) issued has increased from 350 to 508 issued per month. Overall, the number of traffic infringements issued for speeding has increased over the last 5 years by 14.8%.
