The installation on the A2 is an automatic traffic enforcement solution on a highway with five lanes and two hard shoulders.

Shortly after the completion of the A2 project, Gatso was also awarded the section control tender for the A4 highway between the two biggest cities in the Netherlands - Amsterdam and the Hague. Together with the A2, this is one of the busiest roads in the Netherlands. The section control enforcement solution, to be implemented between Leidschendam and Leiden, is scheduled to be completed in January 2013.
