Warning signs on stationary speed cameras around Aotearoa will be rolled out over the next 12 months, Transport Minister Simeon Brown has confirmed.

Signage will be rolled out to notify motorists of static and fixed cameras, but mobile speed cameras will also continue to be used for enforcement without sign-posting.

“Speed cameras should be about improving safety, not raising revenue. And that’s why they should be sign-posted so Kiwis have a fair warning to slow down and avoid a ticket,” Brown said.

“Speed cameras are a critical tool to crack down on drivers who are breaking the law and putting other New Zealanders’ lives at risk. While our Government is directing investment toward road policing and enforcement to improve road safety, our focus is on improving safety outcomes, not fleecing drivers’ pockets,” he said.

“Providing Kiwis with an opportunity to check their speed and slow down in high crash areas where speed cameras are located will avoid speeding tickets and the more tragic consequences of speeding.”

The first sign-posted speed camera went live in Kawakawa, Northland last week. A second NZTA-operated camera will be scheduled to go live with the signage in Taupaki, Auckland over the next month.

Between August and June 2025, approximately 106 police-operated cameras will be progressively transferred to NZTA, each of which will have signage installed.
