Road speed limit enforcement in Australia

On the older models of the camera, and on rainy days or in bad light, a cable is used to link it to a box with a flash placed just in front of the vehicle.

Used only in Western Australia, this Doppler RADAR-based camera is mounted usually on a tripod on the side of the road.

Multanovas are manufactured by a Swiss company of the same name - Western Australia utilises the 6F and the 9F models.

The camera is always accompanied by a white station wagon or by a black or, more commonly a white, silver or brown Nissan X-Trail, staffed by an un-sworn police officer (not a contractor) who is responsible for assembling and disassembling the unit, supervising it and operating the accompanying laptop in the car for the few hours that it is deployed at a location.

Recently introduced infrared cameras, do not emit a blinding flash and can therefore be used to take front-on photographs showing the driver's face.

Most states are now starting to replace older analogue film fixed cameras with modern digital variants.

Queensland is in the process of investigating conversion to dual redlight/speed cameras as the current system is reaching end-of-life.

Police also use other technology that does not rely photographs being taken of an offence, typically where officers enforce the speed limit in person.

The device consists of a pair of sensors embedded in the curb that use a series of infrared beams to monitor vehicles at wheel height.

In 1999 the authorities began to install fixed cameras, and signs warning of their presence, at crash black spots.
