Speed Cameras in Mauritius: 63 Installed, 4 Out of Service

Mauritius has 63 fixed speed cameras installed across the island to monitor vehicle speeds and enforce traffic laws. These cameras detect vehicles traveling above the speed limits of 40 km/h, 60 km/h, 80 km/h, and 110 km/h. The information was provided by Transport Minister Osman Mahomed during a parliamentary session on Tuesday, July 15.

The cameras capture photographs of speeding vehicles, which are then sent to the TMRSU headquarters at Samlo Tower in Port Louis for processing.

Out of the 63 cameras, four are currently not operational. These are located in Saint Julien Village, Calebasses (on the M2 highway), Brisée Verdière, and Case Noyale.

The cameras developed faults and have been sent to the manufacturer, Truvelo UK, for repairs and diagnostics.

Maintenance of the fixed speed camera system is handled by Proguard Ltd, at an annual cost of approximately Rs 27.85 million before taxes.

Additionally, recent studies have identified new locations for installing cameras at dangerous spots, including along the Valetta B6 bypass, the old Flacq route B20 at Epinay, and Melrose on the main B27 road.
