Multi-infringement radars are capable of detecting different offences simultaneously. In Luxembourg, radars capable of detecting speeding and red light running offences have been successfully tested. Such fixed radars operate completely autonomously, allowing special surveillance of dangerous intersections in urban environments 24 hours a day.
In recent years, increasingly sophisticated radars have come into operation. These are some of the most modern models that can be found on European roads.
- Pegasus radar: This radar is in use in Spain. It is a camera capable of detecting moving violations at a distance of one kilometre. The Pegasus radar is mounted on a helicopter and has a camera operator, a traffic officer, who takes photographs or captures videos of any type of offence.
- Multi-lane radars: These radars are used in almost all European countries, always on high-capacity roads. They catch speeding offences on any of the lanes.
- Two-way speed cameras: these cameras have two cameras, the first one captures the vehicle when it is approaching the camera and the second one when it has passed it. The speed is measured over a distance of more than 100 metres, so slowing down to the height of the speed camera is of no use. These speed cameras are manufactured in Germany and have been deployed in several European countries, although as they are fixed speed cameras it is difficult to know their number and precise location.
