Waka Kotahi will trial new safety cameras in Auckland, reports The Spinoff, in an effort to work out how many drivers use their phone, or don’t wear a seatbelt, while behind the wheel. The six-month trial will begin on Tuesday across two highways and a local road, and is the first of its kind in New Zealand. All images taken will be deleted within 48 hours, with a small number of anonymised images “kept for reporting purposes”.
