    How many speed cameras are there in Finland?

    Why not every camera post contains a camera.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    A police presentation published by Liikenneturva says that in December 2022 Finland had about 1,220 fixed automatic enforcement points covering roughly 3,800 kilometres of road, 285 post cameras and 26 camera cars. Since there are fewer cameras than posts, cameras are moved between posts. Road authorities build and maintain the posts, and the police run the enforcement.

    Why

    1. The police presentation gives 1,220 points, 285 cameras and 26 cars as of 12/2022.
    2. The presentation says points and new control sections are planned by the road authority and police.
    3. Fixed enforcement points are marked with a sign before the controlled stretch.

    Details

    Apps and navigators that warn about camera posts are allowed in Finland, but radar detectors are banned.

    Tip

    Treat every camera post as active. Keep to the limit along the whole marked stretch.

    What may differ

    The number of posts and cameras changes as the police buy new equipment.

    Common misconception

    Empty camera posts never take pictures, so you can ignore them.

    What actually happens

    Cameras rotate between posts. You cannot tell from outside which one is active.
