The entire road safety camera network will check registrations.
23 August 2024
From 27 August, drivers caught committing road offences by the ACT road safety camera network will also have their vehicle checked to see if registration is current.
The entire road safety camera network will check registrations. This includes:
- speed cameras
- mobile device detection cameras
- red-light cameras.
Vehicle registration is a legal requirement and crucial for maintaining road safety. Without registration and insurance, the driver of the vehicle may be personally liable for any injuries caused to themselves and others.
Access Canberra will check registration details when processing other traffic infringements caught on camera.
The fine for driving an unregistered vehicle is $700.
You can renew the registration of most vehicles online, if it has been unregistered for less than 12 months.
If your vehicle has been unregistered for more than 12 months, it will require a roadworthy inspection. You will also need to visit an Access Canberra Service Centre to register the vehicle.
To check your registration status, renew your registration online, or to find out more about what to do if your registration expired more than 12 months ago, visit www.accesscanberra.act.gov.au.
From the homepage, choose 'Renew rego' under 'Popular pages'.
The key focus of infringements in the first few months will be for driving unregistered, with additional infringements for also driving uninsured to then be implemented.
Road safety camera relocation
The existing fixed camera on the Northbourne Avenue and London Circuit intersection was relocated in June due to construction activity in the area.
It is now located at the intersection of Northbourne Avenue and Bunda Street and will continue monitoring for speed and red-light offences heading south.
The location was chosen for several reasons, including its closeness to the bus interchange and light rail stop, where there is more vehicle and pedestrian movement.
ACT Government-operated cameras operate in addition to police. ACT Policing will continue to target those who choose to speed and put road users at risk.
