Point-to-point speed cameras installed on major Sydney motorways for heavy vehicles.

Sometimes I get asked about speed cameras people have seen on roads where the speed cameras have not been added to the Speed Camera Locations map. Invariably the cameras are for monitoring heavy vehicles to make sure they're complying with driving time. I thought the following article was interesting as it indicates new average speed cameras have been installed just for heavy vehicles in roads around Sydney.


At this stage these cameras will not be added to the Speed Camera Locations site as my site is aimed at the general population and speed cameras for heavy vehicles may confuse people as they don't apply to them when driving their car.

Personally I can't see why they'd limit the average speed cameras to just heavy vehicles. I understand the risk of fatality increases with increased mass of vehicles, but large SUVs also increase the risk of serious injury or death for other drivers on the road.
