New digital snap on speed

RED light cameras across Victoria are to be upgraded with digital technology.
Victoria Police and the Department of Justice announced on Tuesday that 30 sites of the existing wet film red light camera networks would be upgraded.
The upgrade in technology was first announced by the State Government in November last year as part of an overall package to reduce road trauma in the state.There are currently 26 wet film red light cameras rotated through 83 sites on the network as well as 82 fixed dual speed and red light digital cameras at intersections, according to police.
As part of the technology upgrade, the new digital red light cameras will also take on a speed enforcement capacity meaning an increase in the speed camera network.
An activation date for this has not been set, as road works will need to be undertaken to install the infrastructure.
The 30 sites for upgrading were chosen based on high levels of red-light running or collision rates.
