Automated speed measuring devices for traffic safety

We are expending the traffic speed monitoring system in Ljubljana with two new housings which are going to alternately hold two automated speed measuring devices already used at existing locations.

The speed measuring devices are set up at locations with heavy traffic, in the vicinity of educational institutions or school paths. The number of speed measuring devices remains the same (two devices) as our sole purpose is to improve traffic safety and not to boost the budget.
The new housings are mounted on Opekarska cesta at house number 11 and on Samova ulica at house number 9. The locations are marked with a speed monitoring notification sign indicating the vicinity of a location where stationary devices for the detection and recording of speed limit violations are set up.

Already 9 speed measuring locations in Ljubljana

In 2017, we first set up automated measuring devices on Roška, Celovška, Dolenjska and Slovenska cesta, and last year we added three locations on Zadobrovška cesta, Cesta Dolomitskega odreda and Slovenčeva ulica, while this year we are expanding the system with two locations on Opekarska and Samova ulica.
We are noticing that on the streets where measurement device housings are mounted there are less speeding violations, that is, their number is decreasing.
