At the top of the list of jobs with high risk of work-related injuries must stærekasse-the office of the lie.
Since the first fixed speed cameras went to work 1. October, they have been vandalized throughout 22 times. It corresponds to one of the 20 boxes have been destroyed each week up to today.
the Damage has so far cost the state 380.000 kroner, assesses the Danish road directorate in a statement, as DR described.
According to the media, resulting the vandalism most often in smashed, or painted over glass, which prevents the boxes from doing it, they are put into the world: To take pictures of drivers who break the speed limit.
– we are actually really tired of. We need to have people out and change the glass, and until then we can not use the billedematerialet. It costs money every time, says Marianne Steffensen, who is a department manager in the Danish road directorate, to the dr.dk.
Stærekasserne was in the course of the autumn of 2018 keen on 11 lines across the country, where the police and the road directorate estimated that there was a need for a more targeted control.
the Danish road directorate had prepared the boxes on a tough birth with reinforced glass and built-in alerts – but it didn’t help much. According to DR especially stærekasserne at Ballerup, denmark, outside of Copenhagen and the Danish town aabybro in north Jutland, has been plagued by vandalism.
the Latter has been shattered seven times, since they were taken in use, while the boxes at the Ballerup has been visited by vandals four times.
According to DR, the Danish town aabybro tried to put surveillance cameras to keep an eye on the vulnerable traffic cameras. And it is a solution, which, according to the Liberal party transportordfører Kristian Pihl Lorentzen could be of relevance to spread.
– This is completely unacceptable behavior to commit acts of vandalism against stærekasser, and the hammer must fall hard. If we are to avoid it, could a model be the video surveillance, so you get filmed if you go away on a stærekasse, he says to dr.dk.
