"From 'teaching' cameras to the multi-function beasts that can issue tickets for eight separate driving offences, France has a wide variety of different speed cameras. France has thousands of speed cameras (known as radars) along its huge road network, and being caught by one of them can result in a fine, points, losing your licence or even - in extreme cases - jail time."
"The Radar Tourelle Mesta Fusion 2 is the camera to end all cameras. It is mounted on a very solid, 4 meter tall metal pole and has multiple functions. It leans slightly over the road and can identify and follow up to 126 cars at a time over up to 5 carriageways within a radius of around 100 meters. It sees cars going in both directions, and as well as detecting speed it can also detect cars jumping a red light, overtaking dangerously, driving down a closed road or an emergency lane,"
France operates thousands of speed cameras (radars) across its extensive road network, and detection can trigger fines, penalty points, licence suspension or even jail in extreme cases. Radar Vitesse Moyenne uses two high-mounted cameras at the start and end of controlled stretches to record average speed, and resembles CCTV. Radar Fixe is the classic, waist-height camera with reflective paint that records instantaneous speed and is frequently vandalised. Radar Feu Rouge is integrated into traffic lights to catch red-light runners and can penalise drivers who cross on an amber that turns red. The Radar Tourelle Mesta Fusion 2 is a multi-function system that monitors many vehicles and enforces a wide range of offences.
