These will be installed in consultation with the local authorities who have submitted a request.
In addition to the 43 new section speed cameras, 8 new red light speed cameras and 6 new speed cameras along regional roads are also planned. The installation will begin in 2022 and must be completed no later than 2023. A budget of 6.7 million euros will be devoted to it.
“The effect of speed cameras on road safety has been proven,” says Lydia Peeters. “The number of speeding offenses is down by around 78%. Surveys show that the number of accidents at the height of a section radar decreases by 15 to 30%. We especially notice this effect on serious accidents with a reduction of more than 50%. »
