Since the end of August, a warning sign must be placed before a mobile speed camera. This made the use of cameras less effective.
The police say that warning signs reduce speeding. When cameras are removed, speeds increase again.
Fine revenue has decreased by over 90%. The police now plan to change tactics.
Previously, mobile cameras were mainly on major roads. Now they think they could be used near schools or dangerous crossings.
Speeding often occurs on intercity roads. There are also more fatalities there.
If cameras are removed from highways, other methods of speed control must be found.
The Minister of the Interior says that the decrease in fines does not mean there are fewer violations. The goal of the rules is people's safety.
In Sweden, patrol cars are used instead of mobile cameras. Estonia is also considering this.
