Unlike fixed speed cameras, they move around from place to place, and their locations can be found on the RMS website. These are becoming more widespread as 45 were added at the end of last year, and they are rapidly becoming a well-known revenue raiser for the government. NSW has recently started using mobile speed camera units, which are essentially vans equipped with speed cameras.

What happens if I’m booked by a mobile speed camera unit? In recent times, NSW police and the RMS have come under question in the media for their aggressive booking of motorists and the amount of revenue that they earn from speeding fines. Unlike fixed speed cameras, which have to be clearly marked with warning signs, officers waiting in patrol cars or using handheld devices are often concealed, and motorists can come across them with no warning at all. Highway patrol cars are equipped with radar to detect speeding, and police officers also use handheld speed detection devices, so you can be pulled over on the spot if you are caught going over the posted limit. Speeding fines can come in the mail if you have been caught speeding by a fixed speed camera, or mobile speed unit. Being caught speeding in NSW can be costly, and if it happens multiple times it can impact your ability to drive in the future through loss of points and suspension of your licence.
