When will the new signs and CCTV go live’?

All of our overhead signs have now been switched on and are displaying live travel times.

Do these signs include speed cameras?

No.

The overheard message boards give road users information about travel times, potential delays like crashes or severe weather, and the CCTV cameras will help monitor traffic and road conditions back at the Traffic Management Centre - they are not speed cameras.

Like other CCTV traffic monitoring camera across our road network, they are live feed only with no recording and cannot be used for traffic enforcement or point to point speed monitoring.

How does OTIS help manage Hobart’s roads?

The signs and CCTV allows the State Roads Traffic Management Centre to provide road users with information to make real-time decisions about travel routes, and in response to changing traffic conditions as a result of weather, crashes or unplanned incidents.

When not required for incident reporting, the signs display road safety messages and current travel times to key destinations.

What is the CCTV footage be used for?

Information captured by CCTV is used by the Traffic Management Centre for monitoring traffic and road conditions. This provides greater visibility of prevailing traffic conditions and improve the ability to respond more effectively to incidents and other events.
