Story summary

The Sydney state government is considering implementing new speed camera regulations that would target drivers using "average speed" or "point-to-point" cameras on tunnels and motorways. These cameras calculate the average speed a vehicle travels between two points, rather than at a single location, potentially catching more speeding drivers. The proposed system aims to enhance road safety in high-traffic areas like tunnels and major highways around Sydney.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
