Average speed control to be introduced on four more toll roads — list of highways

Kazakhstan's national road operator, KazAvtoZhol, is expanding its safety measures by implementing average speed control on four additional toll road sections. The initiative targets the Aktobe–Kandyagash, Almaty–Khorgos, Kokshetau–Petropavlovsk, and Astana–Temirtau routes, specifically on the Arshaly–Oshagandy segment.

The company emphasizes that the primary goal is accident prevention and curbing traffic violations, not punishing drivers. KazAvtoZhol stated that speeding is a major contributor to severe road accidents. The average speed system records a driver's behavior over an entire road section, preventing drivers from accelerating between cameras or braking only at their detection points.

Drivers are advised to plan their journeys with speed limits in mind and to strictly follow road signs. The introduction of this technology aims to foster a culture of consistent safe driving habits across the monitored highways.

Practice shows that speeding remains one of the key factors in serious road accidents. Average speed control makes it possible to record not a one-time violation in front of a camera, but the driver’s actual driving behavior along the entire road section.
