Gwangju Police Conduct Speeding Crackdown Using Undercover Patrol Cars

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Gwangju Police Agency and the Autonomous Police Committee announced on the 3rd that they have introduced and started operating a 'patrol car-mounted traffic enforcement device' that allows undercover patrol cars to conduct speeding enforcement while driving.

Previously, speeding vehicles were monitored using fixed enforcement devices installed on the roads, but some drivers often slowed down only in front of the enforcement devices and then resumed speeding, posing a threat to traffic safety.

To address this, the 'patrol car-mounted traffic enforcement device' was introduced. This device uses a speed measurement device and a high-performance camera to measure the speed of vehicles ahead and automatically saves real-time enforcement information to enforce speeding violations.

Since December last year, it has been pilot-operated by the nationwide highway patrol units, and the Gwangju Police Agency has also equipped undercover patrol cars with the 'patrol car-mounted traffic enforcement device' to enhance enforcement efficiency. Vehicles exceeding the speed limit by more than 40 km/h are prioritized for enforcement, while violations under 40 km/h will be issued guidance notices for three months before enforcement.

A Gwangju Police Agency official urged, "Speeding is a cause of traffic accidents that threaten lives, and since speeding can be enforced anywhere, including blind spots without fixed enforcement devices, by undercover patrol cars, please comply with the regulated speed and drive safely to establish the Safe Speed 5030 policy and prevent traffic accidents."
