A new camera has been installed on the Songer Street overbridge on Whakatu Drive, but it’s not aimed at catching speeders.

Regional spokesman from the New Zealand Transport Agency, Anthony Frith, says the camera, which was installed last week, is one of series that will be installed in Nelson as part of an initiative to help improve the movement of traffic.

A mobile police speed camera van is often parked in the area, but the new camera will not be used for speed enforcement.

He says NZTA will be releasing more information about the cameras soon, but cannot comment any further at this time.
