Qatar roads to get new sophisticated radars
State-of-the-art road traffic radar equipment worth between QR40mn and QR50mn have been installed across Qatar’s main expressways in the last couple of years.
Inquiries made at the Milipol found a vast majority of road traffic radars in Qatar have come from Germany since the 1990s.
While some of the equipment have lasted 10-12 years, usually they are changed once in eight years.
The road traffic radars are expected to see further changes in coming years with the installation of Radio Frequency Identification technology (RFID) to apprehend traffic rule violators.
On display at one of the stalls at Milipol is a model of the advanced road radar, the first of which was installed in Ras Laffan.
More such radars are expected to be installed along Dukhan Highway and parts of the stretch between Hamad International Airport (HIA) and the Corniche running upto Sheraton. [Gulf Times]

Why not employ satellite surveillance to monitor speed violations? How many of us will have license still left?
can the MOI hide these cams from view? what good is a high-tech speed cam if drivers would just slow down before passing it?
As a part of improvisation please make sure that the Traffic cops learn English, if you are there in Traffic department for some reason, its a tedious job to make them understand your matter. Its just a suggestion and hence not to be taken it in a wrong sense.
I feel safe on qatar roads because of these cams. Keep up the great work
