The Israel Police Traffic Division announced Sunday that speed camera enforcement thresholds are being updated. Starting in the coming days, drivers exceeding the speed limit by even one km/h may receive a ticket, following a professional review by the head of the Traffic Division. The specific thresholds per camera have not been published.
Sunday morning, Israel Police announced a recalibration of speed camera enforcement thresholds nationwide. The Traffic Division, after a professional review, decided to lower the tolerance for speed violations, meaning that even minor deviations — potentially as low as one km/h above the limit — will now trigger a ticket. The change is expected to take effect in the coming days, with each camera's threshold adjusted according to road conditions, traffic volume, and accident data.
The Zioneer first reported on the update at 10:04 Jerusalem, noting the police statement. The specific thresholds for each camera have not been released, and drivers are advised to observe posted speed limits rather than rely on any assumed margin.
The move is part of a broader effort to reduce road casualties, according to the police. It follows a previous expansion of automated enforcement reported by The Zioneer on June 11.
