Careful of Point to Point Radars

Point-to-Point Radar, Qatar, Doha
The Traffic Department is implementing a point-to-point system to monitor motorists who tend to speed up immediately after crossing a radar point.

They will be caught by the next radar, installed at a distance of three or four kilometres, Col Mohamed Marafi, Safety, Planning and Radars in-charge said in comments published by The Peninsula on Thursday.

“It is common for motorists here to slow down as they approach a radar and pick up speed when they are at a safe distance from the camera. The point-to-point radar system aims to curb this practice,”.

The testing of these Radars have been done in Year 2010 according to this article:

I think such radars are working in long highways like Doha-Mesaeed or Doha-Alkhor.
