238. Traffic enforcement camera
A traffic enforcement camera is an automated or remotely operated camera system used to detect traffic violations. Depending on the system, cameras may measure speed, detect vehicles passing a red light, read number plates or monitor other prohibited behaviour. Some cameras measure a vehicle at one specific location, while systems such as section control measure average speed over a longer distance. The types of cameras used, offences they can detect and enforcement procedures vary between countries.
