About NZ Speed Camera Map

Our Mission

NZ Speed Camera Map provides New Zealand drivers with accurate, up-to-date information about fixed speed camera locations across the country. Our goal is to promote road safety awareness and help drivers stay informed about speed enforcement areas.

Data Source

All speed camera location data is sourced directly from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA), the official government agency responsible for road safety and transport infrastructure in New Zealand.

This data is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. The camera location data has been reformatted for interactive map display, but the core location, type, and address information remains unchanged from the original NZTA source.

Data Accuracy

Our database is automatically updated weekly from the official NZTA source. This automated process ensures that:

New camera locations are added promptly
Removed or relocated cameras are updated
Camera type information remains current
Geographic coordinates are verified for accuracy

Camera Types Explained

Spot Speed Cameras: Measure your instantaneous speed at a single point. If you exceed the speed limit at the camera location, you may receive an infringement.
Red Light Cameras: Detect vehicles that enter an intersection after the traffic light has turned red. Many also function as speed cameras.
Average Speed Cameras: Calculate your average speed over a distance by recording your vehicle at two or more points. Also known as point-to-point cameras.

Road Safety

Speed cameras are an important part of New Zealand's road safety strategy. Research shows that speed cameras reduce crashes and save lives. We encourage all drivers to:

Always drive within the posted speed limit
Adjust speed for road and weather conditions
Stay alert and focused while driving
Use this map for awareness, not to evade enforcement
