Gatso section control enforcement

Gatso has officially handed over a section control project on the A2 from Amsterdam to Utrecht to the traffic enforcement team of the Netherlands National Public Prosecutor’s Office (LPTV). The installation on the A2 is an automatic traffic enforcement solution on a highway with five lanes and two hard shoulders. For environmental reasons, the maximum speed limit has been set to 100 km/h instead of the former 120 km/h.

1679 Gatso has officially handed over a section control project on the A2 from Amsterdam to Utrecht to the traffic enforcement team of the Netherlands National Public Prosecutor’s Office (LPTV). The installation on the A2 is an automatic traffic enforcement solution on a highway with five lanes and two hard shoulders. For environmental reasons, the maximum speed limit has been set to 100 km/h instead of the former 120 km/h.

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.
