What are the cascade radars of the DGT
The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) has implemented a new strategy to improve road safety and reduce speeding offences. It’s about cascading radars, a technique that is causing concern among drivers. These radars are particularly effective at detecting offenders who believe they have avoided a fine.
Cascading radars consist of the placement of several radars on the same road, but at different distances. This technique includes a fixed radar and another mobile one. After passing the first radar, drivers tend to relax and speed up, thinking they have already avoided the fine. However, a few kilometers further on, they encounter another radar that catches them off guard.
How cascading radars work
Cascading radars work simply but effectively. After passing the first radar, drivers slow down to avoid a fine. However, a few kilometers further on, when they have already passed the danger, they encounter a second radar that catches them at a higher speed and imposes a fine on them.
The strategy of the DGT
The DGT has placed these radars in cascade at strategic points to increase their effectiveness. This technique helps reduce speeding violations and improve road safety.
Recommendations to avoid being caught by cascading radars
To avoid being caught by cascading radars, it is important to follow some recommendations:
Maintain a constant speed
After passing a radar, it is important to maintain a constant speed and within the permitted limits.
Pay attention to the signs
Traffic signs indicate the presence of speed cameras. Pay attention to these signs and slow down when necessary.
Drive responsibly
The best way to avoid fines is to drive responsibly and respect the speed limits.
The DGT’s cascade radars are an effective tool for detecting drivers who break speed limits. By following these recommendations, you will not only avoid fines, but also contribute to improving road safety.
