Between 28th January 2025 to 8th May 2025, the first set of portable speed cameras recorded 7,821 speeding violations on Viti Levu.
And as part of its ongoing efforts to improve road safety, reduce speeding and ensure greater compliance with national traffic laws, the Land Transport Authority will roll out 12 new portable speed cameras across the country in the coming weeks.
“The deployment of the portable speed cameras at high-risk traffic zones marks a significant step in modernizing enforcement tactics and enhancing road monitoring efficiency,” said LTA Chief Executive Officer Irimaia Rokosawa.
“Unlike traditional fixed speed cameras, these advanced units offer greater flexibility, allowing enforcement teams to respond dynamically to shifting traffic patterns and emerging hotspots.
“The cameras, which are equipped with high-definition imaging and real-time data transmission capabilities, are intended not only as enforcement tools but as deterrents aimed at promoting long-term changes in driver conduct.”
He said LTA and law enforcement officers would be using the devices both during scheduled patrols and unannounced operations.
“This initiative is not driven by revenue motives. Rather, it reflects the Authority’s commitment to prioritizing the safety of all road users.
“Our goal is simple – to prevent tragedies before they happen. When drivers understand that they will be held accountable for speeding, they are more likely to think twice and make safer choices behind the wheel.”
