NSW to Trial Average Speed Cameras for All Vehicles

Transport for Greater Manchester and Salford Council plan to introduce new average speed cameras on key routes to enhance road safety and reduce speeding-related accidents, with the aim of achieving Vision Zero, which seeks to eliminate fatalities on roads. Meanwhile, the Welsh Government is allowing local authorities to revert to the original 30mph speed limits after public backlash against the 20mph limit, with councils expected to gather community feedback before making decisions. In New South Wales, Australia, a trial will expand average speed camera usage to all vehicles instead of just heavy ones, addressing rising road fatalities, particularly in regional areas. The trial will start on two highways where previous collisions have occurred, and a grace period will be implemented before penalties are enforced. NSW's Roads Minister John Graham emphasized the need for consistent road safety measures, highlighting the effectiveness of average speed cameras in other regions. The initiatives across these regions reflect a growing focus on road safety and community involvement in speed regulation decisions.
