Changes in speed cameras. Cities will go shopping and drivers will face consequences for unpaid fines

The debate over local authorities' rights to install speed cameras re-emerges after a tragic accident in Warsaw, prompting calls for reform.

The recent tragic accident on Grochowska Street in Warsaw, which resulted in the death of a six-year-old boy and injuries to four others, has sparked renewed debate regarding the authority of local governments to install speed cameras. The representatives of the Left party in Poland, including Dorota Olko, Daria Gosek-Popioล‚ek, and Joanna Wicha, have approached the Minister of Infrastructure asking for the restoration of their rights, which were revoked by parliament in 2016. They argue that the previous policy has not worked effectively and that local authorities require more power to improve road safety through increased numbers and better locations for speed cameras.
