Maanteeäärsete kiiruskaamerate aeg hakkab ümber saama

The era of roadside speed cameras is coming to an end

Seitsme aastaga on iga neljas statsionaarne kiiruskaamera rivist välja langenud. Tulevik võib olla keskmise kiiruse mõõtmise ja isemõõtvate patrullautode päralt.

In seven years, every fourth stationary speed camera has dropped out of service. The future may belong to average speed measurement and self-monitoring patrol cars.

2018. aastal olid kõige populaarsemad. Siis oli neid 48. Praegu on neid ainult 34. Transpordiameti juht Priit Sauk ütles, et . Uusi kaameraid ei osteta.

In 2018, stationary speed cameras were the most popular. There were 48 of them then. Now there are only 34. The head of the Transport Board, Priit Sauk, said that the old cameras will be maintained for another 3-7 years. No new cameras will be purchased.

Praegu teavad kõik, kus need kaamerad on. See ei ole väga tõhus. Politsei kasutab juba 8 mobiilset kiiruskaamerat. Need kaamerad tabavad palju kiiruseületajaid.

Everyone knows where these cameras are now. This is not very effective. The police are already using 8 mobile speed cameras. These cameras catch many speed violators.

Politsei töötajad ei osta rohkem selliseid kaameraid. Nad tahavad arendada uut süsteemi – isemõõtvat patrullautot. See peaks valmima 2027. aastal.

Police officers will not buy more such cameras. They want to develop a new system—a self-monitoring patrol car. It is expected to be ready by 2027.

Patrullauto tunneks ära palju rikkumisi. Näiteks või . Sellised rikkumised saadetakse automaatselt .

The patrol car would recognize many violations. For example, a driver without a seatbelt or using a phone. Such violations would automatically result in a fine notification.

Uute seadmete jaoks on vaja muuta seadusi. Politsei ei saa ise kaamerate eest maksta. Sellepärast ootavad nad poliitikute otsust.

New devices require changes in laws. The police cannot pay for the cameras themselves. Therefore, they are waiting for a decision from politicians.

Keskmise kiiruse kaamerad võiksid aidata . Leedus on selliseid kaameraid palju. Eestis pole neid veel kasutusel. Selleks on vaja .

Average speed cameras could help with traffic safety. There are many such cameras in Lithuania. They are not yet in use in Estonia. This requires political will.
