They announced that there will be new radars on routes in Uruguay: where and from when
The Ministry of Transportation assured that the installation of the devices is due to the fact that a “high accident rate” has been recorded.
The Ministry of Transportation and Public Works (MTOP) announced that it will install five new radars on national routes to control the speed of vehicles. The ministry’s argument about the location of the devices is that a “high accident rate” has been recorded there.
