EXCLUSIVE: The state's most lucrative speed cameras have been revealed, with some claiming the government is tricking motorists by lowering the speed limit to raise revenue. KateCreedon9 9News MORE:
The speed camera taking the award for most fines is in the Northconnex Tunnel southbound at Normanhurst, which hit more than 23,387 people at the hip pocket in the last year.
"My gym's over there and I see at least three or four people getting caught every time," one person told 9News. In the 2020-2021 financial year, 95 drivers were pinged at the St Peters intersection but last year the speed limit dropped from 60 km/hr to 40.Local MP Ron Hoenig believes the decision to lower the speed limit is more about revenue than road safety.
Not among the top performing cameras but still a top earner is the speed camera in a 30 km/hr zone on Bigge Street in Liverpool, which has fined 14,134 drivers in the first seven months of this year.Residents in Liverpool are lobbying to change the speed limit back to 40.
