I don't recall if the newer Cross-City tunnel has the camera but I'd guess it has, along with the Harbour Tunnel and some other tunnels south and east of the city. If you have a rental car and GPS, check to see that the GPS is set to beep near these fixed camera areas.
Yesterday a prominent politician had to confess he'd lost his license as a result of racking up speeding fines.
Very embarrassing!
I believe Victoria has the red light/speed camera, which no doubt boosts revenue exponentially for that state.
I believe the Cross City tunnel does have one Westbound after the turnoff for North Sydney and City North.
Eastern Distributor has one iirc only heading Northbound about 1/3 of the way into the main tunnel. The Harbour tunnel has one in both directions almost exactly half way through it. I'm not sure where the one in the M5 east is but its there I doubt it ever gets much work considering the public planning failure that tunnel is anyway.
Speed limits in NSW are a joke, but I also find Australian's to be amongst the worst drivers in the world especially sitting in the right lane "because they are doing the speed limit"
