(a) Multa-nova devices were phased out in Western Australia in 2010-11. The current speed cameras have the ability to be either used in an approach or receding mode which enables the rear of any vehicle (including motor cycles) to be photographed. The current fixed site on the Mitchell Freeway is set in receding mode at all times.
To further enhance the ability to capture motorcyclists a dual system speed camera allows a separate camera to be deployed to obtain a second photograph of the same target vehicle in the opposite direction providing a front and rear image.
All red light speed cameras capture incidents in receding mode only.

In relation to how many motorcyclists were successfully prosecuted, this data is not within the jurisdiction of Western Australia Police and should be referred to the Attorney General.
