Speed Camera Promises to Change the Way of Driving in Brazil. Braking Before Is No Longer Enough. Will It Be the End of the Drivers’ Trick?

From now on, the trick of braking before the speed camera to avoid fines is no longer effective.

A new monitoring system is being tested on Brazilian roads, and drivers who do not adapt may soon fall into the trap.

With a technology that measures the average speed over a stretch of highway, the innovation promises to complicate the lives of speeders who usually only slow down when passing the speed camera.

How Does the New Speed Camera Work and Why Is It Different?

The difference between this new speed camera and traditional ones is in how it monitors speed.

Instead of capturing speed at a specific point, it measures the average speed between two locations along the road.

In other words, the system monitors the time it takes for the driver to cover a specific stretch and then calculates whether they were within the speed limit.

According to experts, this means that the old trick of hitting the brakes just before the speed camera will no longer work.

Even if the driver slows down when passing the speed camera, if they have accelerated for the rest of the route, the system will catch them.

The Debut of the Average Speed Camera in Uberaba (MG)

This system has already begun to be installed at some points on Brazilian roads, such as the stretch of BR-050, in Uberaba, Minas Gerais.

Since the morning of Monday, October 14, two new speed cameras have started operating at kilometers 171 and 182 of this highway, which has a length of 11 km.

The speed limit set is 80 km/h, and those passing through must be aware, as this is the first average speed camera in a federal concession in Brazil.

But don’t worry, fines haven’t started yet!

According to the concessionaire Eco050, which manages the highway, for now, drivers will not be fined for exceeding the speed limit.

Monitoring is in the experimental phase, and the main goal is to raise awareness among drivers about the risks of driving over the speed limit.

But it’s best not to get too comfortable! The expectation is that, soon, penalties will come into effect.

Speed Cameras Like These Are Common in European Countries

If the idea of an average speed camera seems new here, in Europe, this technology has been in use for some time.

Countries like Italy have implemented the system on various highways, and the reduction in the number of accidents has been remarkable.

According to experts, in some cases, the reduction in traffic fatalities can reach 50%.

Changes in Brazilian Drivers’ Habits

With the implementation of this system, many Brazilian drivers will need to change their driving habits.

The strategy of accelerating and braking as they approach the speed camera will no longer be effective. Now, they will need to maintain a steady speed throughout the trip to avoid being caught.

This change aligns with a gradual increase in the use of technology on Brazilian roads, and the system is being implemented carefully and experimentally.

However, as seen in other countries, it can be an important ally in reducing accidents and improving road safety.

The Future of Roads: More Safety or More Fines?

With the adoption of this technology, the future of Brazilian highways may be about to change dramatically.

On the one hand, there is the promise of greater safety and a reduction in the number of accidents. On the other hand, Brazilian drivers will have to adapt to avoid becoming targets for more fines.

The expectation is that other stretches of highways across Brazil will soon adopt this technology, adding another layer of monitoring on the roads.

For those used to driving on Brazilian highways, it may be time to reevaluate driving habits.

Will this new system actually change drivers’ behavior, or will it just serve to increase the number of infractions and fines? What do you think?

A velocidade não causa acidentes e sim a imprudência dos motoristas, da nojo porque fala em salário digno para os motoristas ninguém fala.
É só normas, multas, leis, mais mudar os horários de entregas não muda.
Muitas cargas o motoristas tem 24 horas pra entrega caso contrário é penalizado é criticado, chamado atenção.
Mais sobre isso ninguém fala nada.
É leis e normas ****.
Então porque não proíbem as montadoras de fabricar carros cada vez mais velozes? De que adianta um carro ou caminhão com uma certa potência se não pode ser usado?

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

Ranking of the world’s richest sees billionaire shift: Elon Musk reaches $835 billion and could become the first trillionaire with SpaceX, while Larry Ellison gains $71 billion with AI and surpasses Mark Zuckerberg.

Presented as the world’s first floating megacity, the Freedom Ship promises to be 1.6 km long, 30 stories high, and powered by nuclear energy to accommodate up to 80,000 people at sea, in a project valued at around 81 billion reais that still depends on financing.

The upper part of a monumental statue attributed to Pharaoh Ramses II, weighing between five and six tons and measuring about 2.2 meters, was discovered at the site of Tel al-Faraoun in the Nile Delta, revealing a stronger presence of the great pharaoh in northern Egypt than previously imagined.

Now it’s law: energy distributors can be penalized for hiding data about solar energy in MS; The measure increases market transparency, reduces barriers for consumers, and accelerates the expansion of distributed generation in the state.

The government will cross-check the health data of those receiving Bolsa Família, and from now on, the SUS will inform the ministry every month who is pregnant, which child has not been vaccinated, and who is overweight, all to release or maintain benefits.
