Starting next year, there will be radars to measure the average speed between one point and another on a given route. According to the Jornal de Notícias, the National Road Safety Authority will proceed, later this year, with the purchase of 30 radars, 10 of which will have the particularity of measuring not only the speed at which drivers go when passing by device, but also the average speed at which vehicles traveled a given route.
According to Jornal de Notícias, the president of the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR) admits that the first are already in operation in 2021, although the acquisition process implies an international tender that is not yet closed. For road safety experts, this type of camera is the most effective tool against speeding.
These are 10 radars of this kind, which will be added to the current 40 instant measurement radars that currently exist on the roads, and which will be placed in 20 different locations. “Ten will be permanently active and another 10 will be on stand by”, explains ANSR.
In other words, drivers will be informed of the approach of a controlled speed zone, but they will not be sure whether the radar is active or not in these zones. If it is active, what the radar will do is write down the speed at which the vehicle entered the section and then the speed at which it went when it left the section. If you have covered the distance in less time than the minimum required to comply with the speed limit, then it is considered that you have exceeded the speed limit allowed by law and the fine process begins.
