These are so -called ‘focus flashes’ and they will be in busy places.
These take a photo that is automatically forwarded to the CJIB. An extraordinary investigating officer (BOA) then assesses the photos, the province of Noord-Holland reports.
If it turns out that the driver actually held a smartphone, he may receive a fine of 430 euros.
“The goal is to make drivers aware of the dangers and to encourage them to adjust their behavior. This ultimately leads to fewer traffic accidents and a safer traffic for everyone,” the province said.
Location Stay Secret
The spokesperson does not want to share the precise locations. “If people know where they are, they might take that into account and then exactly not on their phone.”
The Public Prosecution Service has determined where they will be placed in the coming period. The province of Noord-Holland has thought along.
From next Thursday, August 7, there will be focus flashes along two N-roads. After an indefinite period of time, these are moved to other places.
