The Safety camera network framework provides strategic direction for the establishment and ongoing operation of New Zealand’s safety camera network. It's evidence-based and informed by best practice principles that target illegal behaviours such as speeding and red-light-running.

The purpose of the framework is to:

  • support the delivery of sustained reductions in road trauma on New Zealand roads and streets, through automated enforcement of illegal road user behaviours as part of a whole of system approach to improving road safety
  • reduce the risk of fatal and serious injury crashes 
  • complement officer-led enforcement activities.

The framework outlines our approach to safety cameras and sets the direction for detecting, deterring and enforcing illegal driving offences through automated enforcement. This is to make sure we're using the right interventions to target illegal behaviours at the appropriate locations.
