Red Light Camera Locations in Australia

Browse 380 mapped red light camera records across Australia. Use the national map, compare state coverage and open a state page for road and suburb detail. Cameras installed at intersections to detect vehicles running red lights. Many also detect speeding.

How Red Light Cameras Detect Speed

Red light cameras are triggered by sensors embedded in the road at the stop line. When a vehicle crosses the stop line after the traffic light has turned red, the camera captures two images: one as the vehicle crosses the line and another showing it in the intersection. Many modern red light cameras also function as speed cameras.

Detection Method

Red light cameras typically flash twice — once as you cross the stop line and once when you are in the intersection.

Australia Red Light Camera Map

Zoom or pan to inspect mapped road and suburb records. Markers are reference locations from the current dataset; they do not show whether equipment is active or enforcing at this moment.

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.

Red Light 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

What happens if I go through an orange light?
Whether an offence occurred depends on the signal phase, when the vehicle crossed the stop line and the evidence reviewed under local rules. Check the notice and the relevant road authority guidance.
Do red light cameras also detect speeding?
Many modern red light cameras in Australia are dual-purpose, detecting both red light violations and speeding offences. These are sometimes called 'safety cameras' or 'combined cameras'.
How many photos does a red light camera take?
Red light cameras typically capture two images: the first as your vehicle crosses the stop line, and the second showing your vehicle in the intersection. This provides evidence that you entered the intersection after the light turned red.
