ACT Government Takes Significant Step in Road Safety with Expanded Seatbelt Enforcement

The ACT Government’s distracted driving program, utilising Acusensus solutions, can now expand to include seatbelt enforcement, which has been reported to begin on the 3rd of November 2025. This significant step forward comes as an amendment to the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Act 1999 and the Road Transport (Safety and Traffic Management) Regulation 2017 has been passed, in an effort to enhance road safety for all Canberrans.

The integration of seatbelt detection alongside existing mobile phone detection capabilities allows the ACT Government to address two of the most prevalent factors contributing to road deaths and injuries.

Acusensus is proud to support the ACT Government in their mission to achieve significant improvements in road safety.
