NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell says any camera found to be a revenue raiser rather than a safety enhancer will be removed. (ABC News: Giulio Saggin, file photo)
"The New South Wales Government has begun an audit of the state's speed cameras, and is promising to remove those that do not improve road safety."

NSW Auditor-General Peter Achterstraat says, "the review will determined if cameras installed by the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) are located in areas with a high safety risk and if they reduce speeding and crashes."

"The report has a limited scope, however, with Achterstraat saying it will not cover police speed enforcement measures, future speed camera initiatives, the accuracy of the units and other road safety measures."
"Future speed camera inititives" would I suppose would include the 40 new mobile speed camera due to be rolled out this month too.
