AI cameras catching out motorists along Shenton Avenue in Connolly, amid push to change driver behaviour

Hi-definition AI cameras hit a northern suburbs main drag this past week.

The cameras set on a trailer were deployed on Shenton Avenue, Connolly, from September 30 to October 6 to catch motorists speeding, touching their mobile phone or not wearing a seatbelt.

There are 10 “safety camera trailers” deployed, including four in the metropolitan area, and two each in the Great Southern, South West and Mid West regions.

A State Government spokesperson said the cameras aimed to change driver behaviour.

“Along with targeted education and awareness campaigns, community engagement and infrastructure improvements, safety cameras form part of the State’s long-term strategy to change driver behaviour and save lives on WA roads,” the spokesperson said.
