Most drivers in Europe know where are the radars that determine the speed of cars passing by. Sometimes they point directly special set marks. Due to this, those who like to drive with the wind slows down on “dangerous” sites and successfully avoid penalties. According to the newspaper Irish Independent, the Irish authorities have found a way to fix this situation.
The new technology is quite simple. At the beginning and end of a particular stretch of road installed cameras that record all vehicles. Also fixed the time of entry and exit, and is determined by the average speed of the car.
The first such system installed in the Dublin port tunnel, which connects from the airport to the city centre. Its length is 4.5 kilometers, and the speed limit is 80 km/h If the car leaves their tunnel before the estimated time (3.5 minutes), so the driver was speeding, his name automatically be issued a fine of 80 euros and the penalty points. When its amount reaches 12, the traffic violator denied a driver’s license for six months.
According to experts, the new system will reduce the number of accidents by 50 percent.
