The radar located at km 102 of the EN125 in Faro, in the West-East direction is one of the five radars that have recorded the most infractions in Portugal, according to the National Road Safety Authority (ANSR).
The other four are: the A1 radar, at 188.6 km in Coimbra, heading South-North; the A4 radar, 0.1 km away in Matosinhos, east-west; the A29 radar, 40.9 km away in Vila Nova de Gaia, heading South-North and the A23 radar, 18.6 km away in Vila Nova da Barquinha, heading East-West.
The use of speed cameras is one of the most effective ways of monitoring excessive vehicle speeds. For this purpose, there are different types of radars.
Since Friday, there have been 37 more devices nationwide to control speed, two of which are installed in the Algarve. One in Faro on the EN125-10 and another in Albufeira on the A2. There is, however, a radar that was already operational on EN125, in Faro, which was identified as one of the five in which there are the most infractions nationally.
ANSR states that these five radars corresponded to “around a third of the total infractions recorded in the SINCRO system”, before the implementation of the new radars this Friday.
