The report concerns the police’s use of speed cameras for speed control.
The purpose of the study is to assess whether the police have a satisfactory use of speed cameras so that the cameras can best contribute to reducing the number of speed violations and traffic accidents. Rigsrevisionen answers the following questions in the report:
- Do the police have satisfactory planning for speed control carried out with speed cameras?
- Have the police placed the speed cameras in locations where there is a correlation between the speed control and the level of speed violations and accidents?
Rigsrevisionen assesses that the police’s use of speed cameras is not entirely satisfactory. The police can further improve the placement of speed cameras at locations and times where there is excessive speed and traffic accidents. By using available data more effectively to place the speed cameras, the police could contribute more to reducing the number of speed violations and accidents.
Rigsrevisionen initiated the study in December 2023.
