The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has announced a pilot project involving new speed cameras mounted in portals over roads, according to an official press invitation. The project, part of Trafikverket's 'zero vision' for traffic safety, will test the technology at three locations across Sweden where conditions for traditional side-mounted cameras are not optimal. One of the pilot sites is Kärda on road 27/153, where a camera will be installed in an existing portal structure.
Jonas Nygren, Planning Manager for the Southeastern region, stated: 'We are happy that we get to be part of this project. ' A press event is scheduled for Monday, April 13 at 11:00 at Kärda, where media can learn more about how the new speed cameras function. The administration emphasizes that speed cameras not only reduce speeds but also save lives by contributing to traffic safety.
We are happy that we get to be part of this project. Kärda is an interesting location - there is already a portal, multiple lanes, and the traffic volume and speed were decisive factors for selecting this site.
