5. Speed cameras are deployed as part of the strategy to reduce excessive speed and to establish a firm base for long-term change in driver attitude to speeding. Achieving these aims will lead to a reduction in the general level of speed, with a corresponding reduction in the number and severity of road crashes. The deployment of speed cameras is based on an intelligence assessment of locations which have a road safety risk' or locations which contribute to a road safety risk' at another location.
In assessing the road safety risk' for a location the following factors are considered:
whether the location has a crash history;
whether the location contributes to crashes in other 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 conditions of a location creates a road safety risk.
Speed cameras are then allocated a location where they will best reduce the risk of crashes.
There were 60 casualty crashes, including 14 fatalities, on the Victor Harbor Road from 2002 to 2004 and this would have contributed to the road being considered a road safety risk'.
