All speed camera locations are established by SAPOL’s Traffic Intelligence Section.
Speed cameras are only deployed at locations assessed by Traffic Intelligence as having a road safety risk for that location or contributing to a road safety risk at another location.
In assessing the road safety risk’ for a location Traffic Intelligence will consider any or all of the following factors:
whether the location has a crash history;
whether the location contributes to crashes in other nearby locations;
whether the location has been identified by SAPOL Road Safety audits as having a road safety risk;
where intelligence reports provide information of dangerous driving practices associated with speeding especially speed dangerous;
whether the physical condition of a location creates a road safety risk. A hill is not regarded as a physical condition.
