Fake radars Roads learn to detect
Surely more than one occasion youve startled when you traveled by car to see something rare and attracted attention within the infrastructure of a city or highway. The first thing you think is, "Wow, another radar anymore!" Well, fear not because there really are no radars.
These "false" radars are actually other devices with a very different function. The problem is that its design and placement can be misleading because of its resemblance to actual radar. Here we show you the most common examples of these "false" radars.
1. cabins on the sides of a road
Its shape, placement and even material that are built these cabins are almost identical to those of the cabins that actually stored inside a radar. The significant fact which differentiates each other booths is the lack of opening or hole through which the camera lens to capture light find infringement. Therefore, this first case of "false radar" would correspond to an enclosed cabin, although many of these cabins are placed in a certain place for a future installation of a radar truth, so operators should Traffic go to install the radar with its corresponding photographic equipment and therefore a series of holes on the outside of the cabin.
2. Weather Stations
The most common of such devices is that they are placed on both sides of the road. Their shapes can also be misleading and may be installed on a porch, a vertical signal and even lampposts. One of the hallmarks of these weather stations is that they are provided with small solar panels that allow capture solar energy and transform it into electricity to be used to operate.
3. Cameras on lampposts, walkways, porches ...
These cameras are most induce confusion. To actually see where they are positioned fixed cameras, the website of the DGT provides a list of radars (Where are all radars), so many of these cameras for which you speak not correspond to the actual radar, but they are scavenging cameras / traffic counters, ie, record the number of vehicles passing a given road at a certain mileage point.
4. Solar cells on streetlights
Many lamps various cities and roads are fitted with small photovoltaic cells. They can be mistaken for a radar, but really play a very different role as energy supplier for the lamp lights when daylight disappears.
5. Speed Signal Devices
Are devices that are usually placed at the entrance to certain cities or residential areas. In these cases, the speed limit is usually 50, 30 or 20 km / h, as appropriate, so that capture the speed of a vehicle is a notice that may be circulating above the limit.
6. Readers fees
The license plate readers are also part of the infrastructure of many roads. Most often they are placed meters before crossing a toll road. The same happens at the entrance to the car park of an airport surcharge, serving to read the registration and record the exact time of entry of the vehicle in the parking issue.
