Rarely used, single plane available on rare occasion. Was simply a NSW Labor gimmick, as it was by them many years before,when it was later realised to be too costly for little or no return.
The lines marked every 500metres on freeway will not be refreshed, the coalition will not support this enforcement.
We will see greater numbers of HWP in marked and unmarked cars, operating independently from RTA's Road Safety branch who under Labor - funded HWP enforcement in targeted blitzes.
NSW new transport minister (DG) has stated he hates/doesn't like speed cameras. TV ads regarding the point to point cameras targeting heavy vehicles with the slogan "the law of averages applies" have just been televised with NSW government endorsement, BUT these ads were timed for release after the election, to give folk the impression it's all the coalitions doing.
RTA will face scrutiny.
