Cologne - The speed camera on Heumarer triangle on the A 3 washes each year over three million euros in the city coffers.
Now, the flash unit should be strong armed. The flash unit can currently monitor a lane-lane motorway in the direction of Oberhausen. And even in the outdated "wet film technique."
In addition, the exchange traffic between the computer system that displays the different speed limits, and the radar system is completely outdated.
In the plant was put into service until 2004 - but with a dinosaur computer. The fall out constantly, which means high revenue losses. Because of "good days" fall there are 500 speeders within 24 hours into the trap.
Now the city wants to upgrade: soon to be fully measured by new Messfeldsensoren in all three lanes. A digital photo documentation gives crisp, clear pictures of the speeder. This should flush more money into the city coffers.
Only 176,000 euros would be invested to do so. Accident Commission of the District government has already agreed to. Also, the Cologne politicians have signaled approval.
