1. Visual Speed Enforcement in Austria
Austria takes speed enforcement to an impressive level of precision. Here, traffic police are trained to visually estimate the speed of vehicles without the need for radar guns. This skill allows them to fine drivers for speeding based solely on their visual judgment. While this might sound surprising, it reflects Austria’s strict approach to road safety and the trust placed in their law enforcement officers’ abilities to maintain order on the roads. This method ensures that drivers are always conscious of their speed, even in areas where radar might not be in use.
