Law Wants to Abolish Mobile Radar and Drones in Speed Enforcement on State Highways. Proposal Generates Strong Reaction from Experts and Traffic Authorities, Who Point Out Risks to Road Safety and Suggest Unconstitutionality of the Measure.

In the midst of a discussion that promises to divide opinions, a new bill (PL) is advancing in the Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina (Alesc) with a controversial proposal: to end speed enforcement on state highways in the state.

The idea is to abolish the use of mobile radar and drones in speed monitoring, raising questions about safety and the possible impunity for drivers who exceed speed limits.

The bill, authored by Deputy Sérgio Guimarães (União), aims to prohibit mobile radar and drones that monitor traffic on state roads.

Defense and Criticism of the Project

In defense of the project, Deputy Sérgio Guimarães stated that his aim is to bring “more transparency and predictability to enforcement”, insinuating that the measure seeks to make the monitoring process fairer for drivers.

However, the reaction to the bill came quickly. The commander of the State Traffic Police (PMRv), Marcos Vinícius dos Santos, did not hold back criticism and classified the project as a “disservice to road safety,” pointing out the risks that the absence of enforcement could pose to highway users.

Unconstitutionality and Legal Arguments

Another point of controversy came from legal experts. According to the NSC Total portal, lawyers argue that the measure is unconstitutional, as traffic regulations are the exclusive competence of the Union, not of individual states.

The very use of drones, mentioned in the proposal, raised doubts about the actual impact of the bill.

Lawyers highlighted that PMRv drones are not used to monitor speed but rather to enforce specific infractions, such as passing in prohibited areas, which reveals a different use than that suggested by the project.

Consequences for Road Safety

The potential impact of the project does not stop there. Santa Catarina records an average of 200 deaths per year on its state roads, a number that could rise with the reduction in enforcement.

Experts and authorities related to traffic safety argue that the removal of mobile radar could worsen the number of fatal accidents, as drivers tend to adhere more to speed limits in monitored areas.

Enforcement, according to defenders of the measure, is not just a matter of control but a way to ensure the safety of all who travel on state highways.

Bill Progress

Currently, Guimarães’ bill is in an advanced stage in Alesc.

After approval in the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ), the proposal now goes for analysis in the Taxation and Finance Committee, where further discussions are expected to occur before a potential final vote.

For many critics, the advancement of the project in the committees reveals a controversial position within Alesc itself regarding the importance of enforcement on state highways.

Next Steps and Possible Developments

If approved, the project would represent an unprecedented change in how Santa Catarina handles the enforcement of its highways.

Experts point out that, in a scenario without mobile radar, the state may face serious challenges in controlling violations and combating risky behaviors.

The measure, if approved, could further pressure the state regarding its traffic safety statistics, potentially placing Santa Catarina among the most permissive regions in terms of traffic enforcement.

The bill in question not only affects speed enforcement regulations but also the perception of safety and impunity on state highways.

The future of road safety in Santa Catarina lies in the hands of lawmakers and public pressure.
