Traffic controls are part of the Police's arsenal of road safety measures. Their controls are therefore carried out at known accident spots and at times when the risk of accidents is high.
The Police use two different types of controls: conventional controls carried out by police officers in person and automated controls (fixed and mobile).
For automatic speed enforcement (CSA), four systems are currently in use:
- a fixed roadside speed camera system;
- a mobile speed camera system for use on sections of the road network not covered by fixed cameras;
- an average speed control system
- red light radar systems
The aim of ASE is to identify and record speeding offences without intercepting vehicles.
Announced speed controls
In the interests of better road road accident prevention and to raise awareness among road users, the Police publicise certain speed controls in advance.
