A brand new urban radar has just been installed Toulouse. The device was identified, Tuesday, March 29, 2022, by Internet users of the site radars-auto.com. It is located on a highly cited axis in the north of the Pink City.
At the level of the avenue of the United States
This radar is located on United States Avenueon the D820 which runs along the sign Chronodrive.
It is not announced by a sign and does not flash.
Next-generation radars
These new generation devices – also called UTE to pay “urban terrain equipment” – can already be found speeding in both directions, crossing a red light.
In the future, these radars could verbalize “non-compliance with the bike lock, non-compliance with a ban on turning, driving on a lane reserved for certain categories of vehicles…”, lists radars-auto.com.
Several locations since January
Since the beginning of the year, other radars of this type have been installed in the Pink City. It is particularly on the Boulevard Silvio Trentino.
“The precise locations are agreed at the local level between the State services and the communities, according to the criteria of accidentality”, indicated the Road safety a Toulouse News last January.
Radars being tested
The implementation of these ETUs is done within the framework of a national experiment. For the time being, these radars are still in a test phase during which they do not verbalize motorists.
“This experiment has been delayed and we do not know when it will end and when these new radars will start to report. A test phase, without fine, is therefore currently continuing, with several dozen devices planned for the agglomeration of Montbéliard, Toulouse and Montpellier. These tests make it possible both to qualify these devices, to carry out extensive compliance checks, and to engineer integration into urban environments. »
In addition, there are several lures among these equipment. “Only some of these devices will be active and issue tickets at any given time, the others having a deterrent effect only. The principle is to constantly encourage the vigilance of users to respect the speeds authorized on a route, ”indicated Road Safety.
