France rolls out 'flash free' speed cameras
Briefly

France has accelerated the deployment of 'flash free' speed cameras, which do not provide motorists with the traditional flash warning when exceeding speed limits. Introduced in 2019, the Fusion 2 Mesta cameras are now set to replace older models and constitute approximately 75 percent of the fixed speed camera network. As the number of fixed speed cameras is projected to rise to 4,160 this year, drivers are urged to remain vigilant on roads marked with camera warning signs, as violations can lead to fines and license points.
France is increasingly switching to 'flash free' cameras, so you might be entirely oblivious until the ticket arrives.
The first Fusion 2 Mesta turret radar cameras were deployed on French roads in 2019, but in recent months the rollout has been accelerated.
This year the number of fixed speed cameras in France is expected to rise to 4,160.
Speeding in France is usually punishable by a fine and/or points being added to the driver's licence.
