Speed check possible at 150 new locations
Do you know exactly where all the speed cameras are because you are sometimes tempted to press the accelerator too deeply? Please pay attention from Tuesday 8 November. From that date, the Public Prosecution Service will be using a new type of speed camera: the flexible flash.
Flex flash. In a time of flexible working at flexible workplaces, it sounds completely topical. The flexible speed camera is somewhere in between the mobile radar and a fixed speed camera. According to the Public Prosecution Service, the flexible flash will be in one place for about two months, after which it will be moved to another. The Public Prosecution Service reasons that it can maintain the maximum permitted speed with flex flashes in many different places. The flex flash eventually returns to where it originally stood, only to move again after two months. The flex flash can be used, for example, at road works, places where an adjusted maximum speed often applies temporarily. The Public Prosecution Service does not need to pull any power cables for the flex flash, the mobile posts have batteries that can last for two months.
The arrival of the flexible speed camera is part of the Strategic Road Safety Plan 2030, which sets the goal of reducing the number of road casualties as a result of speeding by 2030. On November 8, the Public Prosecution Service will install the first flex flash on Provincialeweg in Hoorn. On the same day, a flex flash will also be installed in Bergen op Zoom and one will be installed in Amsterdam on 14 November. The following week there are also copies in Venlo and Soest. A total of 20 flex flashes will be used this year. Another thirty will be added in 2023.
