This shift comes after a year of testing with four mobile radar units. In 2025 alone, those four devices monitored around 11 million vehicles and resulted in 585,000 fines, according to figures from the Catalan Traffic Service. What's striking is how quickly driver behaviour changed. In the first days after a radar was installed, about 5% of vehicles were caught speeding. Within a couple of weeks, that figure dropped to around 2%.

A Manhattan appellate court found that the city's speed camera program is legally sound in a decision that caps off an eight-year legal battle that sought to potentially invalidate millions of automatically issued tickets. A group of speeding ticket recipients argued that speed camera summons violate state traffic law on a technicality. Part of the citation on the tickets, called a notice of liability, fails to include a technician's certificate, which they argue, must be signed by a specialist employed by the city.
