Speed cameras coming to NL

The provincial government has issued a contract to Jenoptik Smart Mobility Solutions to install, operate and maintain speed cameras and issue tickets.

The contract is for a minimum of 10 cameras, with the potential to add more as the program rolls out.

Speed cameras will be installed on provincial and municipal roads and highways.

Cameras will be in multiple regions throughout the province, starting with Veterans Memorial Highway. Signage will alert motorists to where the cameras are located.

Other cameras will be installed in locations based on consultation with the RCMP and RNC.

The camera will only capture images of the licence plates of speeding vehicles. Licence plate information will be used to identify the registered owner of the vehicle, who will then receive a ticket from Jenoptik. The ticket will be payable to the Provincial Government and administered by the Department of Justice and Public Safety’s Fines Administration Division.
