The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has invited the public to join the discussion on 'mobile radars and road safety' on its web portal - https://goo.gl/Fj87iu

In a post on social media, the MoI stressed that mobile radars were considered as the “most important tools used in traffic environments to control and regulate traffic safety and flow”.

The mobile radars play a “big role” in monitoring road traffic and preventing motorists from violating traffic rules, especially speed limits as it is the main cause of most road accidents, the ministry said, adding that traffic authorities in Qatar are keen on the use of radars to detect over-speeding.

The authorities have been announcing the locations of mobile radars to make drivers alert and encourage them to comply with traffic rules, thereby achieving maximum road safety and reducing road accidents and traffic violations.

In the end, the MoI posed questions such as “How do you see the role of mobile radars in achieving road safety?”, “Do they contribute to the reduction of excess speed?”, and “What do you think of announcing locations of mobile radars in advance?”.
