New radars are arriving on the roads and they will be more efficient

The urban radar will be deployed in several municipalities for an experimentation phase.

The first equipment must be in place during the week of July 26.

Several towns in the Doubs are concerned, reports

 : Pont-de-Roide, Valentigney and Bondeval.

These radars must also take place on about thirty sites of the agglomeration of the Pays de Montbéliard, indicates France Bleu Belfort-Montbéliard.

Smaller than its cousin, it can be installed on street furniture and even be moved.

No flash

“This is not to annoy the world, but to create security.

[…] All this is to reassure and improve safety in town, ”explained the sub-prefect of Doubs.

But motorists can be reassured because only 20% of these urban radars will be active for checks.
