A red-light speed camera is back in operation at the intersection of Windsor Road and Seven Hills Road in Baulkham Hills from 20 October 2026. Transport for NSW says the camera was removed just over a year ago during an upgrade of Windsor Road that added a new lane. It was first installed at the site in 2010.
Warning letters first, fines later
The red-light speed camera will run in warning mode for at least the first month. Drivers caught speeding or running a red light in that time will get a warning letter. Once the warning period ends, fines and demerit points will apply. The release does not give the fine amounts.
What the crash figures show
Before the camera was first installed, the site recorded 25 casualty crashes, including one death and 28 injuries. In the five years before it was removed, there were 12 casualty crashes, with no deaths and 12 injuries.
Why the department wants it back
Duncan Lucas, Transport for NSW Executive Director of Road Safety Regulation, said: “We know that running red lights can lead to serious T-bone crashes or vehicles hitting pedestrians.”
He said road crashes killed 348 people on NSW roads last year, with speed the biggest killer. The most recent speed camera review found fatal and serious injury crashes fell by 52 per cent at red-light speed camera locations, and pedestrian casualties fell by almost 70 per cent.
