The national upgrading of speed camera technology means Dunedin has no fixed operational cameras operating, although mobile machines are being used.
Police confirmed yesterday fixed cameras in Andersons Bay Rd, Caversham Valley Rd, Ravensbourne Rd, Kaikorai Valley Rd and the Southern Motorway had ceased operation.
The most lucrative speed camera, at Flag Swamp, between Waikouaiti and Palmerston, is also decommissioned.
The Ravensbourne Rd camera was still being used up until March 10, rotating between boxes in Andersons Bay and the Southern Motorway at Burnside.
Around New Zealand, 45 sites have not had working fixed cameras, some for more than a year as upgrades lead to their demise.
So far only 12 had been upgraded, in Auckland and Wellington.
Police were unable to say when new cameras would be operational in Dunedin or where they would be situated.
Southern district road policing manager Inspector Tania Baron, in an emailed statement said, while upgrades took place, police would "use a range of other tools and tactics to enforce appropriate speeds'' in the district.
Mobile cameras would be used and staff would be deployed at "high-risk areas''.
"Because the focus has been on moving to the new technology, the old camera infrastructure at the last remaining site has been left in place until it can be decommissioned.
"Police [are] currently working with its road safety partner agencies to identify potential new static camera sites in the area according to crash risk,'' she added.
Police announced plans in 2013 to upgrade the cameras to digital as part of the national static camera expansion project.
The Flag Swamp fixed speed camera caught 1860 speeding motorists in 2013 and 2014.
