Revenue NSW statistics show Wagga drivers were issued 958 infringements during November for a total of more than $142,000 in penalties.

Those fines were just for the lowest offence level: exceeding the limit by 10 kilometres per hour or under.

October saw 254 fines issued in Wagga for the lowest level of speeding and a total of more than $81,200 in penalties, with September lower still at 92 fines for 11,900 in penalties.

Wagga's hidden mobile speed cameras have come under heavy criticism from some residents, especially from those with lengthy clean driving records who have now been fined.

Long-time commuter cyclist Paul Johanson said he would prefer to have more police out issuing instant warnings and fines but speed cameras had their uses.

"As a motorist, more than a cyclist, I think speed cameras are a good thing as they make people monitor their behaviour a bit more," he said.

Mr Johanson said he was one of the many people who had got a mobile speed camera fine in the mail.

"If you get done by a speed camera you have got no excuse ... it reminds you that you need to do the right thing all the time, but it's still a pain to get booked," he said.

July and August saw zero fines issued in Wagga as the new speed camera operator, Acusensus, had difficulty finding staff and vehicles during the lockdown.

Wagga-based Nationals MLC Wes Fang said the increase was due to Acusensus making up for lost time.

"It appears that extra enforcement has occurred in urban areas where cars are not required to travel and therefore lose enforcement hours," Mr Fang said.

"I have made that point very clear with the Deputy Premier's department and they have committed to raising the issue with Transport for NSW that the expectation is for enforcement to take place across the registered sites rather than just the built-up areas."

Kincaid Street accounted for more than 47 per cent of the fines issued in Wagga during November followed by Lake Albert Road at 19 per cent.

The number of fines in Wagga could increase further as contractors have to meet a target of 21,000 hours of speed camera enforcement across NSW per month, which was tripled in July.

Transport for NSW safety, environment and regulation deputy secretary Tara McCarthy said there was no such thing as safe speeding.

"Motorists will be warned their speed is being checked with signs to appear on top of all mobile speed camera vehicles from February," she said.
