ABC

In the 2022-23 financial year, before the cameras began operations, a total of 13,571 speeding fines were issued in Queensland school zones, with all given out by police.

Of the 14,557 fines issued from the new cameras, about 70 per cent — or 10,283 infringements — were given to drivers captured speeding up to 11kph over the limit.
