Are Highway Ramp Cameras for Speed Detection?
1 Answers
Highway ramp cameras are not for speed detection. Below are the purposes of these cameras: 1. Traffic Monitoring: Some ramp cameras are installed not to record violations but to monitor traffic flow. During peak hours, these areas experience high traffic volumes, necessitating monitoring. Drivers tend to follow rules more carefully when they see cameras, which can help prevent accidents. This explains why many ramps don't have cameras, while certain specific sections do. 2. Violation Control: Although traffic regulations clearly prohibit overtaking on ramps, some drivers still attempt to do so when entering. Cameras help deter such violations.
