Cameras are being installed in Podgorodnoye to monitor and record traffic violations on the roads.

On Thursday, January 23, cameras for automatic recording of traffic violations are being installed on one of the roads in Podgorodnoye, Dnipropetrovsk region, heading towards the city of Samara. This was reported by local Telegram channels, as stated by "Vidomo".

Initially, the cameras will operate in test mode.

As is known, the installation of such cameras aims to reduce the number of administrative offenses and traffic accidents resulting in fatalities. There are currently over 200 of these cameras, all integrated into a unified system. Their locations are not concealed – this information can be found on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Additionally, a special sign depicting a camera is placed before the location of the camera.

How the automatic traffic violation cameras work

Before heading out on the road, drivers need to understand how speed detection cameras function. It is known that the speed limit should not exceed 50 km/h in urban areas, 90 km/h outside cities, 110 km/h on roads with two lanes, and 130 km/h on highways. We intentionally remind you of these figures because Ukrainian drivers often inquire whether speed cameras are operational during wartime. The answer is: yes, they are operational and currently only record speeding violations.

The principle of operation of the cameras is straightforward: they photograph violations and send the images to the Data Processing Center of the National Police, where a special system recognizes the vehicle's license plate. Subsequently, data about the vehicle's owner is retrieved from the database, and a protocol is generated, signed with the electronic signature of the police officer.

Next, the relevant question arises regarding how long it takes for a fine from the camera to arrive. After the protocol has been signed, the ruling is automatically sent to the department where the vehicle is registered. There, it can be printed and mailed to the violator. This process takes up to 3 days.

However, drivers who have violated the rules can find out about their fines much faster through online services (for example, "Dii Vdoma," "Privat24," the Ministry of Internal Affairs website). Typically, drivers will receive this information within 3 days. With the advancement of online technologies, the question of where fines from cameras are sent is resolved very quickly.
