Beware of this new type of radar on the road to your vacation

Summer is sometimes synonymous with long journeys to reach your vacation spot; so many opportunities to cross radars on its way. Some are more to be feared than others: this is the case with “double-sided” radars. Indeed, these devices are designed to let nothing pass, photographing both the front and the rear of the vehicle, indicates BFMTV. Approved in France since 2018, “double-sided” radars continue their conquest on the edge of our roads. In December 2021, there were around 200 across the country, according to Le Blog Coyote. For the authorities, these devices are an asset. Because they do not let pass, a priori, any infraction. Taking a first shot at the front of the vehicle, and another at the rear, therefore also tracks motorcyclists, whose license plate is at the rear.

The characteristic of these devices is that they consist of two cabins, about ten meters apart. The snapshot is taken simultaneously when the vehicle passes between the two devices. Another advantage of these radars, the photographs are more efficient. It is therefore easier to identify a face. This could make false denunciations involving another driver more difficult, points out Auto Moto.

The lack of precision of the shots sometimes prevents an offense from being validated. About 38% of the pictures taken by discriminating radars are not usable, according to Road Safety. “By flashing from the front and the rear, the rate of elucidation of offenses will be improved and this will help to treat road users more fairly”, underlined Road Safety at the time of the launch of the experimentation of these radars. .

Additional advantage, the devices are equipped with a Lidar, which makes it possible to identify the type of photographed vehicles. Thus, the device distinguishes between the permissible speed of a truck or a car, if applicable. The manufacturer Parifex also ensures that the photographs are of better quality whatever the conditions. So expect to see flashes in the rain.

This device, whose manufacturer praises the precision, will he be able to detect the use of the telephone while driving? The State is considering deploying radars capable of identifying this offense punishable by a fixed fine of 135 euros and a withdrawal of three points on the driving license. The Australian company Acusensus has developed a radar using artificial intelligence. But the government has still not spoken on the subject.
