\u201cThat\u2019s why they are operated nationwide \u2018anytime, anywhere\u2019 and aren\u2019t marked.<\/p>\n
\u201cResearch has shown that unsigned mobile safety cameras are twice as effective at reducing crashes as signposted mobile safety cameras.\u201d <\/p>\n

McMillan said the consequences of being snapped speeding were the same as if a vehicle was caught speeding by any other safety camera. <\/p>\n
According to the NZTA website, the mobile safety cameras operate day and night and use radar to measure the speed and identify the direction of a vehicle. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe cameras take a picture when the radar detects speeding. <\/p>\n
The speed camera trailers join the fleet of SUVs.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether, the radar and cameras can detect speeding vehicles in two directions and from either side of the road.\u201d<\/p>\n
NZTA\u2019s website says the trailers have multiple cameras that measure speed moving towards and away from the front and rear of the vehicle, and CCTV cameras.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile our SUVs and trailers won\u2019t be marked, they also won\u2019t be hidden. We won\u2019t use trees, blind corners or anything else at the roadside to disguise our cameras. They\u2019ll be visible to drivers.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving cameras installed in both SUVs and trailers means we can choose the best camera type for the location.\u201d <\/p>\n
