A few weeks ago we reported that added to the SINCRO (National Speed Control System) network 50 new Speed Control Locations (LCV). For this, 30 new radars will be acquired, 10 of them able to calculate the average speed between two points.
According to statements by Rui Ribeiro, president of ANSR (National Road Safety Association) to the Newspaper, the first medium speed cameras will start operating at the end of 2021.
However, the location of the 10 cameras will not be fixed, alternating between 20 possible locations.

In other words, the driver will never know for sure which cabs will have a radar, but regardless of whether the cab has the radar installed or not, the driver will be previously alerted by the traffic sign H42 (top image).
When faced with the H42 signal, the driver knows that the radar will record the time of entry on that section of road and will also record the time of departure a few kilometers ahead.
If the driver has traveled the distance between these two points in a time below the minimum stipulated to comply with the speed limit on that route, he is considered to have driven at excess speed. The driver will thus be fined, with the fine to be received at home.
