Vandals hit cameras


The two new ‘average speed’ cameras on Matakana Road, which were to have gone into service in the next few months, have been removed after being vandalised. Waka Kotahi says the vandalism has been reported to police.

“We are working to get the cameras back up as soon as possible,” a spokesperson said.

The cameras are designed to calculate the average speed that a vehicle travels across a length of road between two cameras, which Waka Kotahi says is more effective than a single speed camera.
