New Zealand’s mobile speed camera trailers, designed to slash crashes, have faced 18 acts of vandalism since launching last fall—mostly graffiti, one slashed tire—with Manawatū-Whanganui and Waikato hit hardest. Though none were beyond repair, officials called the damage “extremely disappointing,” as it undermines safety messaging and adds costs. Thankfully, no incidents since early August. Despite repairs falling on Acusensus, the NZTA’s goal remains clear: safer roads. In just six months, these cameras—and their SUV counterparts—caught over 73,000 speeders, racking up millions in fines that go straight to the government, all chosen based on crash data and community input.
