Temuka speed camera catches 1792 speeding motorists in less than a month
A speed camera recently installed at Temuka has hauled in more than $200,000 in fines in its first few weeks operating.
The camera, which started snapping speeding motorists on May 11, has seen 1729 tickets issued – four of those to motorists travelling more than 40kmh over the 80kmh speed limit.
The static (fixed) safe speed camera was installed in the 80kmh zone, near the corner of State Highway 1 and Huirapa St, Arowhenua, at the southern entrance to the town, as part of a $10 million plan to boost safety in high-risk crash areas across the country.
New Zealand Police figures, obtained by Stuff under the Official Information Act, show from May 11 to June 7, 1729 tickets were generated by the camera.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
