Today, in France, first average speed radar

Post by
Hello,
today, in France, they activate the first average speed radar. Someothers will be put in place soon.
The system is one radar at one point and an other radar 2 kms after, the system calculate the average speed.
It would be great if Waze could have this feature, for instance the road could be 'painted' in orange (or what ever) to tell the driver this road is under average speed control. It's an idea, others are welcome ! The aim is to be alerted !
Best regards.

These are still just speed cameras using more technology to catch you. I'd say use the existing speed cams. They have the exact same functionality/outcome: your speed is measured and if it exceeds a threshold, you get a fine/ticket.

How does the system tell the difference between cars passing the devices (to know who gets the ticket)? And how does the radar know it's picking up a reflection from a specific car and not the truck next to/behind it (radar guns typically use the largest return - i.e. the truck)?

Second radar takes plate number and associated time.
The distance is known so it only stays to substract times and calculate speed.

So it's not really a Radar, but a license plate reader / time elapsed over known distance math problem... Interesting...

In the Netherlands, there are no signs by the road for this. You just have to keep your average speed on a couple of km stretch under the limit.

There is an item on uservoice you can vote on, to implement this kind of trap.

Is it planned an update Waze integrating radar section?
Because they will very quickly be deployed in France and in many other European countries such as Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands or Swiss.

We should be able to report the first and then the second radar to warn of the end of the section monitored by a specific color flashing (like yellow)!

Please read the rest of the thread before posting exactly the same question!

We have these in the UK, existing speedcam reporting works adequately, no need to rush to add anything new.

As an aside, I hate these things but my they are effective!

I don’t think such, and other previous messages feel the same way …
Take a look to verify if they are effective:

I don't need to take a look, I've seen with my own eyes as traffic slows down.

New type of camera it is it tack controller. It should have a different symbol then the other cameras.
So we der One we can identify them as track controllers.
In Belgium they are active as well
They map the time of the car passing the frist row of camera's(each lane one comera) and when you pas the second row. It calculates distence over time.

Please make this a update and fast.

Why use something that is already there and works when you can distract Waze into adding yet another feature that is not needed? :o All of this when ignoring the current features that still are not 'finished' or don't work properly?
