Average speed cameras to be placed on high-risk provincial roads

The cameras will be placed on N roads with two or four lanes in five provinces – Friesland, Flevoland, Utrecht, Zeeland and Limburg. The stretches of road have been chosen because they have a high accident rate or drivers regularly exceed the speed limit on them.

‘Our experience has found that drivers keep more closely to the speed limit over a long distance where there are average speed checks,’ said the public prosecution department in a statement announcing the move.

The cameras are expected to be switched on over the next two years.
