In this way, it is already clear how fans can trick such meters. After all, the purpose of such gauges is to avoid traffic safety and suppress eagles from the road. But especially in a row.
It is not necessary to block the emergency lane.
2020 April 16 LAKD announced an international tender on the central public procurement information system through an open tender “Installation of Medium Speed Measurement Systems, Phase II” (VGMS), acquisition no. 481919.
The Highway Administration states in the Procurement Technical Specification that on major roads (ie, roads with emergency lanes) it is not mandatory to register vehicles in the emergency lane.
This condition is specified in the technical specification 6.8.18. points:
6.8.18. Vehicles must be secured to driveways on the roads listed in Table 9.1. No additional (emergency) lanes are required on two-lane roads on major roads (eg, expressways).
6.8.19. Indicative width of the road according to the value of the road:
6.8.19.1. On regional roads 6-7 m;
6.8.19.2. On rural roads of 7-8 m;
6.8.19.3. On main roads of 8-9 m (without additional lane (emergency)).
Where is the problem?
I didn’t want to be mentioned as an expert 15 minutes He explained that the width of the emergency lane on main roads is sufficient for the vehicle to simply overlook the area fixed by the VGMS post. In other words, to prevent the violation from being recorded, the driver will head to the emergency lane in front of the installed VGMS camera (previously notified by a traffic signal). In this way, the time of entry of the car in the measurement zone and the state registration number will not be recorded. Read more about how average speed meters work, what they record, and how they calculate average speed.
Such requirements for purchased sector speedometers are provided in public procurement, and the technical specifications for the procurement are publicly available. This means that without changing these requirements (measuring only two lanes), malicious drivers will be able to exploit this gap.
In this case, the purchase of these 56 meters would be ineffective since “they can be omitted”.

Pasak 15 minutes interlocutor, motorcycles (this, motorcycles, the subject of traffic safety in the sense of very delicate and sensitive) to avoid the camera will be even easier than cars. After all, it is obvious that “British” roads do not lead at 130 km / h.
On the other hand, it is enough for the car to merge the dividing strip; no need to go to the emergency strip with your whole body. Does this mean that a police team will have to be placed next to each meter to ensure that drivers do not use the ‘zero’ lane?
How 15 minutes Driving educators have repeatedly said that the primary reason for preventing speeding is the inevitability of punishment.
However, with such gaps, there will certainly be those who are willing and able to take advantage of them.

Interestingly, for the multifunctional violation control system, which LAKD acquired in 2017, the purchase requirements established the installation of weighing sensors and gauges on the main road, not only on the roadway, but also in the emergency lane. The purpose of this system is to record violations of the maximum permitted weights and dimensions of vehicles.

OR 2019 The purchase of stationary speedometers stipulated that vehicles must register in at least 3 lanes. In the same year, the purchase of an average speed measurement system also provided that the system had to register vehicles in 3 lanes.
So what happened? Why does LAKD risk spending money on indicator media? After all, when it turns out the gauges are skipped, money will be thrown in again to eliminate the deficiencies.
Highway administration: we use the money economically
Saulius Jansonas, a representative of the Division of International and Public Relations of the Lithuanian Highway Administration (LAKD), presented his arguments as follows:
“After evaluating the performance aspects of VGMS (sector meters) and to use the funds economically, it was decided to establish the same requirements for all the speed control systems purchased in the procurement documents, regardless of the importance of the road.
T.y. Speed control is done in at least two lanes. Note that of the 56 VGMS sections, only 8 are four-lane sections on highways with emergency stop lanes.
The situation you describe would be a traffic crime for which the offender is administratively penalized. The Highway Administration notes that the requirement to register speed violators in two lanes does not exclude the possibility of detecting other KET violators in the emergency stop lane.
When the need is recorded, additional means will be installed to secure vehicles running in the emergency lane …
The Highway Administration monitors and analyzes the operation of the traffic monitoring systems and, if the need is detected, will install additional means to register the vehicles that circulate in the emergency lane.
We remind you that the purpose of the speed control system is not to punish. LAKD, in implementing the road safety policy, seeks to change and shape the habits of drivers, to choose a constant safe speed. “
Police photo
15 minutes The “Photo Police” social campaign, launched a few years ago under the title GAZAS on motorways and freeways, helped record many cases of driver abuse while driving in the emergency lane. Fighting with crutches has already become a classic.
Some of them drive during summer congestion (why there will be, read here), and the other party uses the “zero” lane to turn at high speed.
