"The investment in information and communication technology systems planned for the year 2022 will lead to a very significant increase in revenue, essentially through the expansion of the National Network for Automatic Speed Inspection (SINCRO), through the acquisition of new radars, which will have an impact on revenue of around €13 million”, says the document.
The proposal of the socialist executive emphasises that investment in information and communication technology systems will also involve the development of the Traffic Administrative Offenses System (SCOT+), which will generate savings of around €2.4 million, through dematerialisation of the administrative proceeding.
In the area dedicated to road safety, the Government refers that it intends to reinforce the “inspection of the safety conditions of infrastructures and speed violations, through the expansion of the National Network for Automatic Speed Inspection”, with initiatives being developed to “increase the efficiency of the sector, namely in the survey of the occurrences of road accidents, in the administrative process”.
In 2022, the executive will continue the execution of the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 — Vision Zero 2030, which is based on "the safe transport system and the zero vision as fundamental structuring axes of the objectives and measures for preventing and combating accidents on the road network to be established and implemented”.
Safety cameras will only generate money for the government which will be lost in administration and corrupt officials. It will not stop or reduce the poor driving standards caused and therefore accidents by alcohol and drugs, excessive age, illegal cars and testosterone. What is needed is a fair handed approach but a suitably funded police force, better education of roadcraft and road manners, making of tests for elderly more than just a tick box exercise.
