“Is it Legal to Place Unannounced Speed Cameras on Belgian Roads?”

Carlo sent us a message via the orange Alert us button. A few days ago, he was driving in Fosses-la-Ville, in the province of Namur. He saw a new fixed speed camera on the road. To his great surprise, this device was not announced by any sign. Carlo therefore wonders whether a fixed speed camera should always be signaled to motorists in advance?

The answer: no. It is not a legal obligation to warn you that a radar can flash you a few hundred meters further. That said, it is true that fixed speed cameras are often announced by large panels.

Moreover, it is the same thing for mobile radars. Of course, the police don’t notify you every time they’re hidden behind a tree or a building.

Finally, the two methods are complementary: both to warn you and encourage you to slow down rather than punish you, and not to show up to catch those who are driving too fast.
