Community attitudes

The following results were drawn from recent research* indicating that the community generally regards speeding to be a dangerous and unacceptable behaviour. With regards to low-level speeding, the community has paradoxical attitudes, such that they understand the risks associated with the behaviour, but many still report engaging in the behaviour themselves.

Of those motorists surveyed:

• 77 per cent agreed with the statement 'Speeding is unsafe in most circumstances'
• 42 per cent agreed with the statement 'Low-level speeding is a major contributor to crashes'
• 81 per cent agreed with the statement 'The faster you drive, the more severe the crash'
• 78 per cent agreed with the statement 'If I drive 10 km/h over the speed limit, I have a greater risk of being in a crash, than if I was driving at the speed limit'
• 35 per cent were classified as compliant with speed limits, while 48 per cent were classified as low-level speeders**.

*Each year, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) commissions a study investigating road safety attitudes and behaviours, which is conducted by an independent market research company. The 2024 survey asked transport-related questions of a sample of 926 Queensland motorists.

**Respondents were classified as 'low-level speeders' if they reported travelling at 1–10 km/h over the posted speed limit for more than 10 per cent of the time they were driving, but never reported travelling more than 20 km/h over the limit.

Table 50: Number of point-to-point speed camera infringements per penalty bracket for 2024

Penalty bracket	< 11 km/h	11–20 km/h	21–30 km/h	31–40 km/h	> 40 km/h	Total
Number of point-to-point speed camera infringements	623	3292	294	62	24	4295
Percentage	14.51%	76.65%	6.85%	1.44%	0.56%
Data source: Queensland Police Service. Notes: Penalty bracket is vehicle exceeding the speed limit by this amount. A point-to-point (or average) speed camera system uses a number of cameras over a length of road to measure a vehicle's average speed. The system uses the time it takes for a vehicle to travel between the two points to calculate the average speed of the vehicle. Speed = Distance ÷ Time.
