Speed cameras are easier and more profitable
The NSW road toll is 63 higher than this time last year

So the answer it seems is more speed cameras

Mobile speed cameras will slow drivers down but there also needs to be more highway patrol in unmarked cars, because cameras don't detect drugged, drunk, or unlicensed drivers.
The president of the NRMA, Wendy Machin, said a highly visible police presence was the best way to lower speeding. "Receiving an infringement notice in the mail a week or two after the fact is not an effective speeding deterrent," she said.

IT was announced that we will get another 48 highway patrol in NEXT year's budget.
What's new, this is from Hansard 2007
"The Minister for Police seems to be in denial. He is almost parrot like in his statements to the House about how he will give us an extra 50 highway patrol police. His own superintendent, the man in charge of road safety in New South Wales, says he wants 400 officers, and clearly we need those 400 officers."

Fixed speed cameras don't need superannuation, holiday pay, sick pay and that's why they are the preferred option.

Four months and 21 pages of how drivers have been treated by the RTA, lawyers, ministers, courts, or how they have been ignored after being fined at the Beverly Hills speed camera trap.
