Speed Cameras

The cameras will be able to enforce smaller violations, and at the same time, drivers who wish to defend themselves against fines will now do so through an administrative track, without the evidentiary burden of criminal proceedings. The combination of the two moves could accelerate the accumulation of points and the revocation of licenses - especially among taxi, bus, and truck drivers.

The Minister of National Security, who has 78 recorded traffic violations, criticized the police decision to lower the speed enforcement threshold. He announced plans to discuss the matter with the Police Commissioner.

The Minister of National Security speaks out against the new enforcement camera revolution on the roads, announces an urgent discussion, and proposes a move that could affect the driving speed of motorists in Israel.

Amid the public debate surrounding speed cameras, many have speculated about a "secret police fund." In reality, the mechanism works differently. "HaMashrokik" explains.

The police's decision to tighten enforcement using cameras on high-risk roads is sparking criticism, and even the Ministry of Transport warns: the public needs to be prepared for such a drastic change. The Traffic Division rejects claims of excessive motivation in issuing tickets: "Not a shekel goes to us from this. Take your foot off the gas."

The Traffic Division of the Israel Police is updating the enforcement thresholds for speed cameras, which will come into effect in the coming days. The move is part of the ongoing effort to combat road fatalities, which have claimed 270 lives since the beginning of the year.

The war on road fatalities: The head of the Traffic Division has decided to update the enforcement threshold for stationary cameras on high-risk roads. Some cameras will implement stricter enforcement, including documenting offenses within a short deviation range from the speed limit. Police: "The goal is not to issue fines, but first and foremost to save lives."
