Slow down because there could be reindeer, a Santa or a Christmas Tree about! A billion motorists have passed Brisbane’s Speed Awareness Monitors (SAMs) since the highly successful program was launched almost ten years ago.
We know Christmas can be a dangerous time on the roads and our Santa-themed speed awareness monitors help alert drivers to their speed and encourage them to drive safely.

We’re committed to getting motorists home sooner and safer and our network of SAM signs help make that happen. The latest data shows that motorists slowed down by an average of 7.4 kilometres per hour while passing one of the flashing signs.
The program started with 26 signs in 2013 and has grown to 190 SAMs that rotate across 894 locations in Brisbane and 83 permanent signs at schools
Keep an eye out for Santa SAM as your drive around Brisbane….
