Fixed Speed Camera Locations in Australia

Browse 786 mapped fixed speed camera records across Australia. Use the national map, compare state coverage and open a state page for road and suburb detail. Permanently mounted speed cameras installed at fixed locations, typically in high-risk areas or school zones.

How Fixed Speed Cameras Detect Speed

Fixed speed cameras use radar or laser technology to measure the speed of passing vehicles. They are mounted on poles or gantries and continuously monitor traffic. When a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the camera captures an image of the vehicle's number plate along with the recorded speed.

Radar or piezoelectric sensors embedded in the road surface

Detection Method

Most fixed cameras use infrared flash (invisible) for rear-facing captures. Some older models use visible flash.

These counts describe records in the dataset, not enforcement frequency. Open an available area page for local roads and map context; every marker remains visible on the national map above.

Fixed Speed Camera Locations by State

Mapped records have coordinates and appear on the map. Approved sites identify roads or suburbs where mobile equipment may operate, but do not show a live deployment.

Common Questions

Do fixed speed cameras flash?
Most modern fixed cameras use infrared flash which is invisible to the human eye. Some older models may produce a visible flash, particularly at night.
Can fixed cameras catch you from behind?
Most fixed cameras in Australia are rear-facing, meaning they photograph the back of your vehicle as you pass. Some newer installations have both front and rear cameras.
How accurate are fixed speed cameras?
Road authorities require camera systems to be tested and certified. Any enforcement threshold or measurement allowance is jurisdiction-specific and should be checked against official guidance or the infringement notice.
