Answer

I am advised by NZTA that the criteria for selecting new safety camera locations are available online at https://www.nzta.govt.nz/travelling-on-our-roads/safety-cameras/about-safety-cameras/how-we-choose-new-safety-camera-locations. I also refer the Member to my response to Written Parliamentary Question 28022 (2026).
