RADAR ON THE TRAIL:
Brazilian En route, each time you see a sign with the word " PARDAIS " stay tuned because there will be a visible photo radar, if you make a infringement against one of these radars, the most likely to be delayed in the next police station. Be alert and observe speed limits, especially compared to radar. On this page you will find the location of each route radars. (For the moment only via options Step of the free and pathway Uruguay)
MOBILE RADARS:
addition to the cameras as there are along the routes what are called RADAR MOBILE, watch cars as they are often hidden behind trees, then a curve, under bridges, road crossings on lines with ups and downs (in short, everywhere!). Bribes, and may be illegal, not a good idea and that it is useless, the fine will do the same. If you are interested vilar
speed limits and slow down only when there is radar, the new website full of sites that can help to break the law and endanger your life and that of others, so I just limit myself to give a link asking strongly that at least try to respect the speed limits as long as possible and if you spend a maximum of an oversight and not because they wanted to do:
VERY IMPORTANT: radar detectors are banned in Brazil! if you are using an addition to paying a higher fine can to keep you vehicle.
