Research preferred speed camera locations
Back to the places where you are most likely to get a fine. At least as a runner. If you’re just sticking to the speed limit, these most popular speed camera locations don’t matter.
Overall, there were more than 10% more speed cameras in 2022 than in 2021.
The company Flitsmeister, which you probably know from the app that reports speed cameras, has listed the numbers for 2022. The result is a list of the 10 most popular speed camera locations of the year.
It is noticeable that these 10 most popular speed camera locations are almost all in the west of the country. Of course, most people live here, the motorway network is heavily used and there are simply a lot of motorways. However, number 1 is a street in North Brabant. The A16 connects Rotterdam and Belgium here and is therefore very busy.

The average speed on the Dutch motorway
Some time ago, Autovisie, in cooperation with Flitsmeister, carried out research into the average speed on Dutch motorways. How fast do the Dutch really drive? “One often gets the impression that people are driving fast, but only the cars that overtake stand out,” says Jorn de Vries from Flitsmeister. In this article you can read about how fast people drive and on which motorways the average speed is highest.
