In December 1993 a pilot for Continuous Applied Speed Enforcement (CASE 1) was started by the National Police Agency and the Ministry Of Transport. Objective was to reduce speed violations to max. 5%. Before this pilot the speed limit was violated by 35% of the motorists, increasing to almost 70% during the night hours. During this pilot the average of violators was 3%; realisation of an objective of max. 10% violation on 100 km/hr segments appeared to be feasible. This pilot was given extended national publicity by the national media. Road users support these continuous speed enforcement by 71% and approve extension to other road segments. The results led immediately to an extension of the project, instituted in 1995, becoming a part of daily operational procedure and know as CASE 2. For the covering abstract see IRRD E102946.
