The tolerance margins as well as the quotas will be abolished by this summer. Explanations.
By the summer, speed checks on motorways using section radars should be carried out permanently, without any further margin of tolerance, announced the Federal Minister of Justice, Vincent Van Quickenborne (Open VLD), after a pilot project carried out on seven highways. It has been observed that the removal of tolerance margins and quotas has reduced the average speed by 10 km/h on motorways.
Due to limited processing capacity, tolerance margins are applied in Wallonia and Brussels, while quotas are in place in Flanders for speed checks. The margin of tolerance introduces an additional speed threshold for the establishment of a report. This threshold is therefore higher than the legally authorized speed. As for the section radars, they are currently only active at certain times.
