Is your area a goldmine — or ignored?

Type any NSW suburb or postcode. You'll see the nearest fixed and red-light speed cameras against the real record of people killed and seriously injured within 5 km. Some suburbs are ringed with cameras; some country towns bury people every year with the nearest camera 150 km away.

What this shows

It's the same open government data behind the map, made personal. For the spot you pick, it finds every fixed and red-light speed camera within 10 km and counts the deaths and serious injuries within 5 km (2020–2024). The pattern repeats across the state: cameras cluster where the traffic — and the revenue — is thickest, while a lot of the dying happens where there are no cameras at all. That's the point made on The Goldmines.

Read it honestly This counts only the cameras whose locations NSW publishes — fixed and red-light. Mobile speed cameras (the ones in parked cars) and average-speed and phone-detection cameras are not in the open data, and mobile cameras do operate on country roads. So "0 cameras nearby" means no fixed/red-light cameras — not no enforcement. The crash numbers, by contrast, are the complete record.
