EVALUATION OF THE CRASH EFFECTS OF VICTORIA’S FIXED FREEWAY SPEED CAMERAS by Stuart Newstead Kathy Diamantopoulou Max Cameron & Nimmi Candappa May, 2019 (Released February, 2021) Report No. 350 MONASH UNIVERSITY ACCIDENT RESEARCH CENTRE REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE Report No. Date Release Date ISBN ISSN Pages 350 May 2019 February 2021 978-1-925413-20-5 1835-4815 (online) 48 Title and sub-title: Evaluation of the crash effects of Victoria’s fixed freeway speed cameras Author(s): Newstead, S., Diamantopoulou, K., Cameron, M. and Candappa, N. Sponsoring Organisation(s): This project was funded through the Centre’s Baseline Research Program for which grants have been received from: Department of Justice and Community Safety, Department of Transport (VicRoads) and Transport Accident Commission Abstract: This aim of study was to evaluate the road safety benefits of fixed speed cameras in operation in Victoria in terms of their impact on crash frequency and severity. Evaluation focused on camera installations on two roads; fixed spot speed cameras at 4 locations on the Geelong Rd (Princes Freeway) and the point to point speed camera system on the Hume Freeway covering the freeway from Epping to Broadford. These road sections were chosen for evaluation based on sufficient before and after installation crash history and being free from other confounding influences at the camera sites. Analysis results showed that the estimated proportional crash reduction effects associated with the cameras at fixed spot camera sites were statistically the same as those estimated for the point to point system. The only difference between spot speed cameras and the point to point system was the geographical area of influence over which associated crash reduction effects were estimated. Evaluation results estimated a 27.7% statistically significant reduction (p=0.016) in all casualty crashes associated with fixed speed camera installations. A corresponding 30.2% reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes was estimated however, this was not statistically significantly different from the estimate for all casualty crashes. Absolute crash savings associated with the Hume Freeway point to point camera system were much greater than those estimated on the Geelong Rd spot speed camera network with annual estimated reductions of 21 and 6.8 casualty crashes respectively associated with the cameras. This reflects the greater crash population covered by the point to point system compared to spot speed cameras.

    Eastlink to Open on 29 June - Five Months Early

    12 May 2008 EASTLINK TO OPEN ON 29 JUNE - FIVE MONTHS EARLY ConnectEast, the owner and operator of EastLink, yesterday confirmed to the Victorian Government that it will deliver the $2.5 billion motorway on 29 June 2008 – on-budget and five months ahead of time. To celebrate the completion of this landmark Public Private Partnership project and to encourage motorist familiarisation, ConnectEast announced the first four weeks of operation will be toll-free. ConnectEast also revealed plans to host a community open day on Sunday 15 June to give people a once-in-a-lifetime chance to walk, run or cycle on the road before it opens to traffic. Managing Director, John Gardiner, said the opening of EastLink (and the untolled Ringwood Bypass) well ahead of the 30 November contract date demonstrated the capacity of the private sector to accelerate the delivery of massive projects. “Over the life of this construction ConnectEast has averaged $59 million expenditure per month, including five consecutive months when expenditure exceeded $100 million,” Mr Gardiner said. “This demonstrates the capacity of the private sector, with the support of government, to harness all the necessary resources to make big infrastructure projects a reality in the shortest possible time. “EastLink is already generating an economic and population boom in Melbourne’s outer east and south-east, with businesses and residents re-locating to make the most of the motorway. “EastLink will mean safer driving plus time and fuel savings every day for many thousands of Victorians. The road will revolutionise the lives of people living and working in Melbourne’s eastern and south-eastern suburbs by providing a high- quality uninterrupted north-south transport corridor from Mitcham to Frankston.
