Mr. Drew Harris:

If my memory serves me well, there was actually an uplift in expenditure in the latter part of 2023. The year 2024 saw a considerable expansion of the operational deployment of GoSafe, but that was to address the extraordinary circumstances of the road deaths and the serious injuries on our roads. That was an appropriate response. Throughout 2024 and into 2025, both fixed cameras and average-speed cameras were deployed.

Let me emphasise the issue of speed. Of the 79 deaths we have had on our roads to yesterday, 51 relate to single-vehicle collisions. These are attributable to driver behaviour. When you step back and look at the figures, you see that speed is undoubtedly a certain element. Therefore, we are pleased to uplift our investment in this regard and also to invest in static and average-speed cameras. They make a significant difference. In the main, where we introduce the static cameras, we see speed reduce over time.
