How often is the camera data updated?

The speed camera data is automatically updated daily from the official NZTA source to ensure accuracy and completeness. New cameras are added and removed cameras are updated promptly.

Safety camera fines range from $30 for 1-10 km/h over the limit, $80 for 11-15 km/h, $120 for 16-20 km/h, $170 for 21-25 km/h, $230 for 26-30 km/h, $300 for 31-35 km/h, $400 for 36-40 km/h, $510 for 41-45 km/h, and $630 for 46-50 km/h over.

See the official fee schedule at nzta.govt.nz/safety/driving-safely/safety-cameras/about-safety-camera-notices/safety-camera-notices-and-penalties

Do speed camera fines come with demerit points?

No, NZTA does not issue demerit points for safety camera infringements. This is a key difference from being stopped by a Police officer, where demerit points do apply. Camera fines are financial penalties only. However, demerit points are assigned if you are stopped by Police—10 points for up to 10 km/h over, 20 for 10-20 km/h, 35 for 20-30 km/h, 40 for 30-35 km/h, and 50 for over 35 km/h. See nzta.govt.nz/driver-licences/driving-offences-and-penalties/demerit-points for details.

What happens if I speed more than 40 km/h over the limit?

Speeding by more than 40 km/h over the limit can result in a 28-day licence suspension in addition to the fine. If you exceed 50 km/h over the limit, your case goes to court and you may face charges of careless, dangerous or reckless driving with more severe penalties. These apply whether caught by camera or by Police.

Do speed cameras work at night?

Yes, all fixed speed cameras in New Zealand operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including at night. They use infrared technology to capture images in low light conditions.

Can tourists get speed camera fines in New Zealand?

Yes, international visitors can receive speed camera fines in New Zealand. Fines are typically sent to the rental car company, who will charge your credit card and pass on any associated fees. Unpaid fines may affect future visa applications.

How do I pay a speed camera fine in NZ?

Speed camera fines (called safety camera notices) are issued by NZTA and can be paid online at safetycamera.nzta.govt.nz. If you don't pay by the due date on the reminder notice, it's sent to the Ministry of Justice who add $55 to the original fee.

Where are the most speed cameras in New Zealand?

Auckland has by far the most speed cameras with 80 fixed locations, representing 70% of all cameras in New Zealand. Wellington and Waikato each have 7 cameras, followed by Canterbury and Otago with 4 each.

Are there mobile speed cameras in New Zealand?

Yes, NZTA operates mobile safety cameras in SUVs and trailers throughout the country in addition to the 114 fixed cameras shown on this map. NZ Police also conduct speed enforcement separately. Mobile camera locations are not published in advance.

What speed triggers a camera in New Zealand?

Speed cameras in New Zealand have a tolerance threshold, but the exact tolerance is not publicly disclosed. The safest approach is to always drive at or below the posted speed limit.

How accurate are NZ speed cameras?

Speed cameras in New Zealand are highly accurate and regularly calibrated. They must hold a valid certificate of accuracy issued under NZTA requirements. The Measurement Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSLNZ) has calculated the measurement uncertainty at approximately 0.5 km/h.

Can I dispute a speed camera fine in NZ?

Yes, you can dispute a safety camera notice. NZTA provides an online process at safetycamera.nzta.govt.nz where you can nominate another driver, request a review, or apply for a court hearing. Common grounds include not being the driver or requesting a hearing to present mitigating circumstances.

How long do demerit points last in New Zealand?

Demerit points in New Zealand remain on your record for 2 years from the date of the offence. Accumulating 100 or more demerit points within 2 years results in a 3-month licence suspension. Remember: camera-detected offences don't add demerit points—only officer-issued tickets do. See nzta.govt.nz/driver-licences/driving-offences-and-penalties/demerit-points for details.

How many new speed cameras are coming in 2026?

NZTA is rolling out 17 new average speed camera locations across New Zealand through 2026, with the first at Matakana Road, Warkworth becoming operational in December 2025. Locations include Dairy Flat, Whitford Road, Pokeno, Upper Hutt, Te Hauke, and Tekapo-Twizel. The current plan is to expand the network to around 200 cameras by 2027.

What are average speed camera corridors?

Average speed camera corridors use two cameras placed kilometres apart on a stretch of road. Camera A records when you enter the corridor and Camera B records when you leave. The system calculates your average speed over the distance. If your average exceeds the speed limit, an infringement notice is issued. Unlike spot speed cameras, you cannot defeat them by braking at the camera.

What is the current speed camera tolerance in NZ?

NZTA applies a tolerance to speed camera enforcement, but the exact threshold is not publicly disclosed. For the new average speed cameras, tolerances are understood to be tighter than those historically used for fixed cameras. The safest approach is to always drive at or below the speed limit.
