Day three of the Easter Road Safety Campaign (phase two) has commenced with extra police enforcing the Fatal Five across Queensland roads.
More than 130 people were charged with drink driving while more than 3,800 drivers were detected speeding across the state.
The highest speed detected was a vehicle travelling at 159km/hour in a 70km/hour zone in Boondall.
The highest UIL reading was more than four times the legal limit at 0.219%. One person was detected with this reading in Manunda and another in Townsville.
During the Easter period, police will enforce high risk road user behaviour including the Fatal Five: speeding, fatigue, impaired driving (drink and drug), failure to wear a seat belt and distraction and inattention in a concerted effort to minimise road trauma.
Phase two of the Queensland Easter Road Safety Campaign commenced at 00.01am on Thursday, 17 April 2014 and continues until 23.59pm on Monday, 21 April 2014.
The state-wide campaign is part of a national road safety operation entitled, Operation Crossroads.

Note 1: The statistics contained in this release are sourced from live databases maintained by QPS, are preliminary and subject to change on a daily basis. Any data extracted less than six weeks from the end of a reporting period is considered preliminary. |
Speed Camera Detections Note for 2013 data: 1. Data is extracted from camera databases within the Queensland Police Service (Traffic Camera Office). These systems are live databases and the reported statistics may vary on a daily basis. 2. Detections from road safety cameras do not necessarily result in the issuing of an infringement notice. Detections from cameras are adjudicated by an accredited Traffic Camera Office staff member. The adjudication process assesses whether there is sufficient evidence to meet legal requirements to issue an infringement notice. Detections include images and associated data files used for testing camera systems during scheduled maintenance periods and normal operation. Differences observed between detections and notices issued will be the result of camera testing and adjudication processes.3. Figures include data for mobile speed cameras (overt, covert & portable), analogue fixed speed cameras, digital fixed speed cameras, digital combined speed/red light cameras (speed detections only) and the average speed camera system. |
