New Speed Cameras Earn £40,000 An Hour

[RobBrady]

New speed cameras covering roadworks on the Køge Bugt Motorway in Copenhagen, Denmark appear to be earning their keep.

Speed camera police vehicles caught 978 speeders driving through roadworks in a 80kph zone.

In just five hours, they managed to rack up almost 2 million kroner in fines (almost UK£200,000). The individual fines equate to 2,000 kroner each (almost UK£200).

The usual penalty is half that amount, but because the offences happened in a construction area, the fines were doubled. A spokesman for the Mid and West Zealand Police told Jyllands-Posten: "Workers are vulnerable because they work so close to traffic - therefore Parliament has approved double fines where road work is going on."

Seven percent of the 14,000 motorists that drove through the monitored stretch were caught speeding.
