The Israel Police Traffic Division announced Sunday that speed camera enforcement thresholds are being tightened on high-risk roads. Head of the Traffic Division, Superintendent Haim Shmueli, said tickets will be issued starting at 5 km/h above the speed limit on certain roads, emphasizing that the goal is saving lives, not issuing fines. The new thresholds, which take effect in the coming days, are based on a professional analysis of risk characteristics, traffic volumes, and accident data for each road segment.
The Israel Police Traffic Division's updated enforcement policy, announced Sunday, will lower speed camera thresholds on high-risk roads across the country. Head of the Traffic Division, Superintendent Haim Shmueli, stated that on certain designated roads, tickets will be issued for exceeding the speed limit by 5 km/h, down from previous de facto buffers. The thresholds are based on a professional analysis of each road segment's risk characteristics, traffic volumes, and accident history. The new policy takes effect in the coming days. The police emphasized that the goal is to reduce road fatalities, not to increase the number of fines issued. This follows an earlier bulletin from The Zioneer reporting the initial announcement of the tightening.
