As Dívány reports, Budapest has enhanced its road safety measures with 26 new fixed speed cameras, aiming to curb the high number of accidents attributed to speeding drivers. The Budapest Police Headquarters (BRFK) introduced these radar-based, certified cameras to monitor 47 lanes around the clock, delivering clear, high-quality images of vehicles and their number plates regardless of lighting or traffic conditions. This initiative complements existing speed enforcement methods, which include mobile cameras, tripod-mounted devices, and covert police vehicles. By integrating these advanced speed cameras, BRFK hopes to reduce traffic accidents and hold reckless drivers accountable, enhancing safety across Budapest’s roads.
