The number of fatal crashes increased in 2023 as Australia's regional and rural
00:11
roads claimed 811 lives. More than 90% of Aussie drivers have used regional, rural
00:17
and remote roads in the past year, but many drivers admit they're breaking laws
00:22
on regional roads when they believe it's safe and they have less chance of getting
00:26
caught. Initiatives have been put in place to help combat the rising road toll,
00:31
including new point-to-point speed cameras in regional NSW. The cameras calculate a driver's
00:37
average speed between two points and are being used on the Pacific and Hume highways.
00:42
Originally designed for trucks, these cameras are now monitoring cars as well,
00:46
as NSW joins the rest of mainland Australia and the ACT in adopting this tech for all vehicles.
00:53
While fixed safety, mobile and point-to-point cameras are used across Australia, many experts
00:58
are calling for more police presence on regional roads to help enforce safer driving habits.
