Speed camera plan to improve Luxembourg accident rate

Officials in Luxembourg are planning to install fixed and mobile speed camera in a bid to improve the accident rate in tunnels and dangerous roads in the country, and to reduce the number of traffic fatalities. A feasibility study estimates the cost for the project at US$15 million. The total cost for the installation of 35 fixed cameras and five mobile devices is predicted to be US$1.6 million, together with US$13 million for a control centre. The project is scheduled to start in summer 2014.
