Radar cars soon in service in Grand-Est, Hauts-de-France, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Radar cars travel on routes and time slots set by state services based on local accident criteria. They have equipment capable of reading the speed limitation panels enabling the radar to operate autonomously, without any intervention by the driver of the vehicle. For speed measurements of moving vehicles, higher tolerances are used: 10 km/h in addition to the authorized speed, or 10% more than 100 km/h.

The driver of the radar car has no indication as to the finding of infringements (he does not know which vehicle was photographed or how many infringements), the flash operating in a totally invisible way thanks to an infrared device. Ticket notices for outsourced radar cars are then processed by the National Processing Center (NTC) based in Rennes.
