Red light monitoring (Austria)
The red light cameras in Austria with automation-determination, including traffic lights, radar and red-light radar called, used to monitor the observance of the red light of traffic lights in the road . They have been subject to statutory regulation since 2009.
Legal
The first legal regulation of these red light monitoring systems was made in the newly added section 98d. (Monitoring the observance of light signals) in the 22nd amendment of March 25, 2009 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO) 1960. The data (the photo) were only allowed to be used for the purpose of administrative criminal proceedings for disregarding the red light sign (Section 98d. (3)) ). In the 28th amendment of January 13, 2017 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) 1960 under the title “Permissible further use of data in certain cases”, § 98g. added, which says that the determined data (photos) can also be used to punish other misconduct such as telephoning at the wheel.
history
In 2010 the Austrian Federal Police operated three red light monitoring systems and looked after others in an unknown number in the course of cooperation with cities and municipalities.
Cameras have also been used in connection with level crossings for a number of years . They were first installed in Carinthia in 2013 by ÖBB .
- Vienna
After several years of planning, Vienna's first “traffic light radar” was put into regular operation at the junction of Währinger Gürtel / Nussdorfer Straße in the 9th district of Alsergrund in early May 2007. Subsequently, there were almost 1900 advertisements in the first three months. In March of the following year, a second “traffic light radar” with a different technology was installed on Linke Wienzeile at the Getreidemarkt for test purposes. In mid-2010 it was announced that another five systems would be installed, namely: 1st district: Schottenring in front of Franz-Josefs-Kai, 5th district: Reinprechtsdorfer Straße / Schönbrunner Straße (towards the south), 9th district: Universitätsstraße - Währinger Straße, Looking towards Maria Theresien Straße, 12th district: Altmannsdorfer Straße - in front of Sagedergasse and 15th district: New building belt in front of Felberstraße. It was also announced that a “camera system” registers around 5000 to 6000 violations per year and fines of 70 euros (for ignoring the red traffic light) and 105 euros (if cross traffic is also obstructed) are imposed.
- Linz
The first automated red light monitoring was already in place in Linz in 1988. This system used an analog camera that was triggered by induction loops embedded in the roadway . However, this system was prone to errors in bad weather (precipitation, fog). Since 2009, digital red light monitoring systems have been used that use detection processes ( radar ) to record red light violations.
