According to Postal, The National Speed Control System (SINCRO) will be reinforced with the addition of 25 new radars, including a new radar in the Algarve, from 6 July, increasing the equipment already in operation to 98, as announced by the National Authority for Road Safety (ANSR).
In a statement, ANSR explains that, of the 25 new Speed Control Locations (LCV), 14 are instantaneous speed cameras and 11 are average speed cameras. ANSR also explains that the locations of the new radars (37 installed in September 2023 and 25 on 6 July) were selected based on the excess speed recorded in those locations, which proved to be relevant to the serious accident rate.
