"The evidence is absolutely overwhelming, not just in terms of the lives that are saved by speed cameras, but also in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of it,'' she told Radio New Zealand.
锘?0m set aside for speed cameras
The next step was for police present a business case to the NZTA which would detail how the cameras would be used and how they would target areas of risk to reduce crashes.
"It's hard to say that we've actually seen a corresponding reduction in the road toll, especially when compared to the amount of fines collected by the cameras,'' he told Radio New Zealand.
"If anything it's going to increase that perception of the speed cameras, especially when we have low tolerance weekends on public holidays etc.''
Mary Williams, chief executive of the road safety charity Brake, said research had proved speed cameras were "incredibly effective'' at slowing down traffic, resulting in fewer casualties.
Ms Williams has called for speed camera revenues to be ringfenced for road safety measures including pavements, offroad cycleways and "other measures to protect vulnerable road users''.
Associate Transport Minister Simon Bridges said 25 more speed cameras could be bought for about $4m which means the extra $10m could potentially double the number of cameras from the 55 currently in use.
Mr Piercy said there was a perception speed cameras were about revenue gathering.
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) spokesman Andy Knackstedt said $10m for more speed cameras would be set aside within the road policing component of the programme over the next three years.
"Just where the prices are on these things and how many $10m would buy and the mix between fixed and mobile and the latest technology, those are matters that police will clearly want to put a good business case to NZTA on,'' he told Radio New Zealand.
