New speed cameras activated early on Pomeranian expressways

Drivers in Poland's Pomerania region now face increased speed monitoring, as new section-based speed cameras have become operational earlier than anticipated. The system, designed to enhance road safety, is now active on crucial parts of the S6 and S7 expressways, which are vital routes for travelers heading towards the Tricity area and the Vistula Spit.

Two sections went live on May 29: one on the S6 expressway between Owczarnia and the Airport near Tricity, and another on the S7 expressway covering the stretch between Dworek and Nowy Dwór Gdański. These routes are particularly busy, especially during the summer tourist season, as many Poles travel to the Baltic coast.

An additional section is set to be activated soon on the Tricity Ring Road, monitoring traffic between Karczemki and Szadółki. This part of the ring road is known for its high traffic volume, with tens of thousands of vehicles passing through daily. The new system aims to ensure drivers maintain legal speeds over longer distances, reducing the risk of sudden braking and acceleration.

The General Inspectorate of Road Transport emphasizes that section-based speed measurements are highly effective tools for improving road safety. By monitoring speeds over several kilometers, the system encourages more consistent driving behavior, which can lead to smoother traffic flow and fewer accidents. The monitored sections vary in length, with the S7 stretch between Dworek and Nowy Dwór Gdański being the longest at nearly 10 kilometers. Speed limits on most sections of the Tricity Ring Road are 120 km/h.
