Auckland Transport are preparing to install 13 CCTV cameras on Onewa Road to allow remote monitoring of the T3 lanes during their hours of operation. The cameras will replace the need for staff to film from the side of the road.

The installation of the Onewa Road cameras will be in two phases:

• Phase 1: The first phase of the works, preparing the pole foundations and cables, is scheduled for late February 2021 and will take up to three weeks to be completed. This will involve drilling at some of the camera locations along Onewa Road.
• Phase 2: The second phase of the works, installing the poles and cameras, is scheduled to start in May 2021 and will take up to one week to be completed.

The cameras should be operational from June. For the first 3 weeks, Auckland Transport will issue warning letters to drivers who use the lane incorrectly. From July (date to be confirmed), $150 infringement fees will be issued.
