Dangerous driving given the red light in North Ryde 

Road Safety in North Ryde will receive a boost with the installation of a new red-light speed camera at the intersection of Lane Cove Road and Twin Road.  

Executive Director, Road Safety Regulation, Duncan Lucas said the new camera will target red-light running and speeding from 1 August 2025 to improve safety for all road users.

“We know that running red lights can lead to serious T-bone crashes or vehicles hitting pedestrians,” Mr Lucas said.

“About 40 per cent of red-light speed camera offences are from people running red lights so we are addressing this problem head-on.

“In the five years from 2019 to 2023, ten crashes occurred at this intersection resulting six people suffering serious injuries.

“Road crashes claimed the lives of 331 people on NSW roads in 2024p with speed the biggest killer. This red-light speed camera will help to reduce risk in North Ryde,” Mr Lucas said.

Research shows that red-light speed cameras dramatically reduce the number of serious crashes on our roads.

“The most recent NSW Automated Enforcement Camera Programs 2023 Review found fatal and serious injury crashes fell by 35 per cent at red-light speed camera locations, and pedestrian casualties fell by almost 59 per cent,” Mr Lucas said.

The new camera will operate in warning mode for one month during which time drivers caught speeding or running red lights will be sent a warning letter to encourage them to change their behaviour.

Fines and demerit points will be sent to offending drivers at the end of this period.

Fines from red-light speed cameras go directly into the Community Road Safety Fund to deliver targeted road safety initiatives in NSW.
