Estonia’s parliament, the Riigikogu, has approved legislation requiring police to provide advance warning of mobile speed camera locations. The amendments to existing law aim to increase driver awareness and potentially reduce speeding incidents. Previously, police could operate speed cameras without prior notification. The new rule intends to shift the focus from punitive measures to preventative ones, encouraging drivers to adhere to speed limits proactively. Details regarding the form and placement of these warnings have not yet been specified and will be outlined in subsequent regulations. Supporters of the law believe it will foster a more transparent relationship between law enforcement and the public, while critics express concern it may diminish the effectiveness of speed enforcement. The law was passed by the Riigikogu on Wednesday and will come into effect upon official publication.
