The NSW Government is prioritising road safety on The Grand Parade in Sydney’s south, with the introduction of 3 new fixed speed cameras to help prevent further road fatalities and serious injury.
Two cameras will be installed from November at Brighton Le Sands near Gordon Street and a third camera will be installed at Sans Souci near Alice Street, following an urgent review conducted by Transport for NSW.
The new cameras will help prevent excessive speeding or ‘hooning’ in the area and follows the tragic incident in August in which 2 young boys died when the car they were travelling in lost control and hit a tree. Between 2018 and 2022, there were 64 crashes on The Grand Parade where someone was injured, including 16 crashes where someone was injured seriously.
The new speed cameras will complement enforcement activities already completed in 2023 by mobile speed cameras, with more deployments on the way for the summer period.
The new speed camera on Alice Street at Sans Souci will be bi-directional to monitor speeding traffic both ways.
A standard commissioning and calibration period will follow installation of all 3 cameras and they are expected to be fully operational in early 2024.
