According to the government-approved plan, a couple of new
speed cameras will be installed by the end of this year to complete the
100-speed camera project, which started in February 2015.
The government has now ordered the Interior Ministry and its
partners to analyze the results of this project and to come up with further
proposals on how to improve traffic safety in Latvia. The ministry’s workgroup
has found that the stationery speed cameras have proved to be effective in
combating speeding and improving traffic safety and that the existing network
of speed cameras should be expanded.
The expert group has proposed installing 50 more speed
cameras equipped with real measuring devices and 50 replicas, or fake speed
cameras. Their location would be changed on a regular bases so drivers could
not guess which cameras are real and which are not.
Trofimovs noted that the proposal has yet to be approved by
the government, which also has to decide on the project’s financing.
