Understanding Radar Guns and How They Measure Speed

Many drivers try to fool the traffic police and suddenly brake or “hide” behind another car, not knowing how far away the radar gun can pick them up.

Both the radar devices mounted on cars and the guns equipped with the Traffic Police officers are a constant fear for drivers. Especially for those who are used to breaking speed limits.

The technology of these speed detection systems is very complex. It allows setting the travel speed in less than a second and detects the distance between cars.

From what distance to take the Police with the radar gun?

The Traffic Police has over 100 radar guns. To these are added several hundred other fixed devices, mounted on cars. In addition, from next year, the installation of 800 fixed and mobile radars would begin on the roads throughout the country.

Thus, those who exceed the speed limit have less and less chance of escaping the fine. Especially since, recently, Tru Cam II pistols, which cost over 13,000 euros each, entered the Police equipment.

Authorities say they measure speed in just 0.33 seconds from the moment the officer pulls the trigger. Which means no driver will be able to brake in time to fool the radar gun.

The radar gun is equipped with an anti-jamming sensor and also measures the distance between cars. The maximum distance from which the radar gun records speed is 1.2 kilometers.

How the radar can be “fooled”.

Those who think to brake suddenly, rely on the radar detector or “hide” behind another car have no chance.

The radar guns will register them long before they or the detectors notice it. However, the radar gun has a speed limit.

It cannot register speeds over 320 km/h. Furthermore, even though it can determine the speed from any position of the car, it cannot do so when it is in motion.

Only radars installed on police cars can record speed if the special vehicle is in motion.
