“Strategic presentation of the annual effective project”. Here is the name Program of 2024 in road checks and its numbers. Schedule to the Finance Bill, which throws a severe light on the PV business in general, and radars especially. Everything is there: deployed resources, investments, modernization directions, point management of licenses, etc.
Incomes are still so high
This program details estimates and the trajectory of revenues under the CAS, the famous “special allocation account”, whose opacity is regularly condemned by the Audit Chamber, but which the state renews every year.
These are numbers and “arrows” of redistributiona set of recipes from fines radars single rate Or increased and those related to others violation of traffic rules. A bottomless pit of 8 or 9 digit numbers and tables that will teach us something… something we already knew. there fight against excessive speed Stay here priority number one.
This is evidenced by the mentioned orders: on v 1.96 billion euros what needs to be reported in traffic and parking fines 2024 yearabout 1 billion will come radars! And from this jackpot, 350 million will be used to support the house (purchase, maintenance radarsoperation Antai*: National agency for automated registration of offenses.).
Key figures
- 769 million euros in revenue related to fines
While public finances have pledged 755 million in revenue for 2023 fixed penalties radars not increasedthey calculate 769 million next year. Therefore, without great ambitions. However, if we add the product of the increase in fixed penalties (last known figure: 204 million in 2021), we can reach a billion!
- Availability 93%. radars
This is the average annual ratio between the numbers radars in working order and the number put into operation. For two years and until 2026, it is so set to 93% (but not achieved in 2022: 86.3%). In other words, out of a fleet of 4,360 devices, 4,055 should be capable of permanent flashing. Others are either at the stage of maintenance, replacement, or simply destroyed.
- 1000 safe routes
They multiply randomly, these sections of roads where the control elements are vaguely marked, here and there, with signs (with a distance sign): we are told that there are 1,000 of them in 2024 on 12,000 km of roads. Surprisingly, the 304 we have identified to date already control 9,500 km with an average length of 31 km. Or rather 31,000 km per 1,000 planned?
The record of 2017 has not been broken
Despite the proliferation of radars, the 6-year-old record will not be broken. In 2017, the total revenue reached an astronomical figure 1.98 billion dollars. With 1.96 million projected for 2024, revenue should only grow 2% over 2023.
Nevertheless, it is expected that the number of fines issued to road users will increase dramatically in the future. The equipment has actually been updated, the radars are more and more effective, more and more crimes are being monitored. With new sound controls, ZFE controls and car-sharing lanes, the 2017 record could fall at the end of next year. It remains to be seen how this will develop as the state has recently scrapped EPZs and carpooling lanes are not meeting their expectations.
Radars from ZFE: more sound, more picture
with radars must control access to low-emission zones, this is discussed in the annexes to the Finance Bill 2024. But in short: approximately Antai * “will also continue to develop and operate the processing required for ZFE-m automated controls and possibly other automated controls […] (armored lanes, weighing in motion, sound control)”. In a word, let’s not wet too much. And it is not for nothing that the government contract for “automated control equipment for access to low-mobility areas”, which was to be awarded in September, according to our information at the time, consists of seven groups of companies selected to participate. having no news for months.
Bottom line, while effective commissioning was possible at the start of the 2025 school year, we are slowly creeping towards 2026…the year of the municipal elections! then 2027? Flute, it will be a presidential election. Of course, when you don’t want to!
