The Benefits of Automatic Traffic Camera Enforcement
An average of 400,000 people lose their lives every year due to speeding, further raising the importance of mass speed enforcement worldwide. Since their earliest deployment in the early 1960s, speed enforcement cameras, or automated traffic enforcement cameras, have repeatedly proven their benefits in significantly improving safety and reducing co…
How Automated Speed Enforcement Cameras Work
Speeding costs 400,000 lives on roads worldwide each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Studies by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that automated speed cameras save lives and reduce enforcement costs. Speed cameras operate 24/7 without the expense and risk of personnel deployed by the roadside. B…
Reduce CO2 Emissions with Automated Speed Control
Not all negative impacts caused by speed can be immediately translated into twisted metal and loss of human life – a silent, lesser-known toll falls on our environment and health: impact of CO2 emissions. Think about this way: in the average car, gasoline consumption increases by 25 per cent when the speed limit on expressways rises from 88 km/h to…
