Why it matters
Changes in traffic enforcement policies directly affect driver behavior and public safety protocols.
The Israel Police Traffic Division announced today that its speed cameras will be adjusted to change the enforcement threshold.
Although speed limits will not change, the amount of excess speed that will be tolerated before a fine is imposed will change in accordance with traffic density in the area, road accident statistics, numbers of casualties, and so forth.
"In a comprehensive professional review of the speed cameras installed around the country, the Israel Police Traffic Division assessed each camera individually, analyzing characteristics of the road, traffic density, road accident statistics, casualty numbers, and risk factors on each stretch of road," a statement from the Israel Police spokesperson said. "At the end of the review, the head of the Traffic Division, Chief Superintendent Haim Shmueli, decided to update the enforcement threshold on the cameras, in accordance with the professional analysis and actual road conditions."
