The Norwegian police have decided that soon more sectional speed measurements will appear on the roads of Norway. The statistics prove that the presence of machines on the roads gives a good effect and has a positive effect on drivers.
Sectional speed measurement - a terror for road pirates?
Norwegian police agree that since segment speed measurements appeared on the streets of Norway, drivers have started to drive slower. Over the last few years, radars measuring the average speed of drivers have fined them with a total of almost NOK billion. The cameras operate as intended, and due to the fact that drivers are afraid of receiving a ticket, their speed is in line with the law.

Good results
It turns out that sectional vehicle speed measurements bring only good results. According to the head of traffic safety road at the Norwegian Roads Administration Publicznych, Bjørn Brændshøi: “Na drogach z takimi radarami liczba zabitych i ciężko rannych osób w ruchu drogowym, zmniejszyła się o połowę. Przez bardzo długi okres czasu tunel Byfjord w Rogaland był odcinkiem, na którym liczba wypadków mogła mocno niepokoić. Odkąd pojawiły się tam radary mierzące średnią prędkość pojazdu, ilość wypadków znaczenie zmalała. Dzięki nim większość kierowców utrzymuje poprawną prędkość pojazdu. Według statystyk obecnie na tym odcinku tylko 1 na 7000 kierowców przekracza zalecaną prędkość.

It's been almost 30 years
It's been almost 30 years since a speed camera was installed for the first time in Norway. Today, this country has about 300 such places, but only 27 are radars measuring the average vehicle speed. Taking into account the good effects brought by the above-mentioned radars, Norwegian police would like to see more of them on Norwegian roads. Unfortunately, this involves a very high cost and strict criteria for their establishment.

Why is it so necessary?
Too many people are still dying on Norwegian roads. 2017 people died in 106, and two more in 2018. According to preliminary statistics, in Norway, nearly 4 people were injured in road traffic last year. The most common reasons are substance abuse and vehicle speed.
