Mr Lui suggested that portable or handheld speed-detecting cameras be set up to complement existing cameras in road tunnels.
Speed enforcement cameras are deployed at fixed locations within the tunnels and intentionally painted with bright orange stripes to alert motorists to their presence.
This deters motorists from speeding in accident-prone areas. It is not feasible to deploy officers for speed enforcement operations within tunnels using portable or handheld speed-detecting cameras due to safety concerns.
The Traffic Police have introduced the Average Speed Camera (ASC) system to address the problem of motorists who speed up after passing a fixed speed enforcement camera.
