SOUTH-EAST: Trial on Canterbury Rd
An independent trial of next-generation trailer-based road safety camerasis underway along Canterbury Rd.
The advanced trailers bring a broader range of detection capabilities including red light violations, bus lane enforcement, licence plate recognition, and driver safety monitoring.
Verra Mobility has deployed two relocatable trailers along Canterbury Rd, as part of a four-week non-enforcement technical trial.
Positioned at two points across Canterbury Rd, the trial will collect data which will be shared with the State Government to help shape future public safety and mobility programs.
The two trailer-based devices will also be trialling Average Speed Enforcement – in which vehicle speed will be tracked between both devices – in addition to the more traditional point speed enforcement.
“These systems are ultimately built to reduce risk, improve road safety, and make people more vigilant – especially in high-risk locations like school areas and work zones,” said Steven Crutchfield, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Verra Mobility.
“Any roadside deployment involving personnel exposes the operator to significant risk. Our automated trailer-based systems greatly reduce that risk.”
