NZTA is taking over safety camera operations from NZ Police.
In 2024/25, we assumed responsibility for managing spot speed cameras, most of which are now on our network. We're now issuing infringement notices directly.
We're currently in the process of taking over red light cameras and deploying our own mobile safety cameras.
From 1 July 2025, NZTA will manage all safety cameras across the country.

How we’ll operate mobile cameras
We want people to see our signs, slow down if needed, and respect red lights. Mobile cameras will remain unsigned.
As spot speed camera sites were transferred to us, we used the opportunity to upgrade them to current infrastructure standards — for example, we added new footpaths and parking areas.
Before cameras go live on our network, they go through a rigorous testing process. Other organisations complete the tests and issue certificates.
Safety camera testing and certification
When a camera transfers to us from police, we issue the safety camera notices from that camera.
Police officers will continue to issue notices for the offences they detect.
