This is the best summary I could come up with:
Cameras deployed on Queensland roads to nab offending drivers are on track to make almost $100 million less this financial year than what the state government had forecast.
The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) has not pointed to a specific reason for the drop in projected revenue from the cameras, but it has suggested the rate of offences is falling.
It means that for three financial years — from 2022-23 to 2024-25 — the state's roadside cameras are set to make $186 million less than initially anticipated.
TMR did not state a specific reason for the revised revenue projections, but acknowledged estimates would likely change each year due to the latest camera trend data.
"In the last 12 months there has been a downward trend in the number of infringements issued across most of the camera types in the program.
In recent years the government has also rolled out cameras that detect mobile phone and seatbelt-related offences.
