Mobile phone and speed detection cameras have been egged and vandalised by angry motorists in response to the controversial introduction of unmarked cameras across NSW.
Sydney motorists have been slugged more than $5.27million in fines from unmarked speed cameras last month alone.
Fines handed out to NSW drivers have soared by 900 per cent since the removal of the Speed Camera Ahead signs that were previously required to be placed 250m before the camera.
Despite the controversial removal of warning signs, and 23,149 drivers being hit with fines in March alone, it has made virtually no impact of road fatalities.
Ninety-three people died on NSW roads so far this year, compared to 94 for the same period in 2020.

Regional prices in NSW have risen 18c/L since the start of the year.
ACCC data showed that Melbourne s petrol prices had likewise peaked in early April, topping 165c/L in the first week of April and sinking since then.
However, prices are still set to hover at around 140c/L this weekend and the ACCC has advised people to delay filling up if they can.
Brisbane is a different story, with prices currently at about the lowest point of the cycle, at less than 135c/L. The ACCC said it was a good time for motorists to buy.
