This is where you are most likely to be flashed

Limburg is only the seventh province in the country in terms of population, but the speed cameras are very busy there. Only in South Holland, North Brabant and North Holland were there more speed cameras last year.

This can be read on the website of the daily newspaper De Limburger. They base their findings on figures from the CJIB, which were requested by LocalFocus.

Limburg most 'flashy' province

Nearly 474 thousand traffic fines were issued in Limburg in 2016 for speeding or running a red light. 456.252 for speeding and 17.595 for running a red light. In relation to the number of inhabitants, no province has more speed cameras.

Maastricht

The speed camera along the Viaductweg in Maastricht, at the Franciscus Romanusweg, was particularly busy. A maximum speed of 50 km/h applies here. Preferably 40.199 vehicles were driving faster (or through red lights). An average of slightly more than 110 (!) fines per day. Even if each flashed vehicle committed only a minimal (speeding) violation, this pole alone would have added more than 1 million euros to the national treasury!

Venlo

Number two is in Venlo, along the Weselseweg, before the intersection with the Schoolweg. This speed camera recorded 39.856 times. The maximum speed here is 50 km/h. At the same intersection, speed cameras are also used in the other direction.

Heerlen

It is of course a good idea to keep to the speed limit anyway, but you really have to be careful along the N281 in Heerlen. There are preferably XNUMX cars in both directions here. four speed camerasTwo of them can be found in the top 10, in positions 4 and 7.

Fined for your rental car?

Of course, it can also happen that you have committed a traffic violation while driving a rental car. The fine is issued on the license plate, so we receive the ticket. We forward it – without charging any administration costs 😉 – to the person in whose name the rental contract was registered. Was someone else driving the car at that time? Then you have to fight it out among yourselves who will pay for the fine.
