Embracing cutting-edge technology transformed the state's roads from perilous highways to havens of responsible driving, saving lives and fostering a culture of safety.

In the heart of Mexico, the State of Querétaro has set a new benchmark in road safety with the groundbreaking “Clicks de Vida” program. This innovative initiative, born from the government’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its citizens, has transformed the state’s roads from hazardous corridors into safe havens for all road users.

The “Clicks de Vida” program’s success stems from its strategic implementation of cutting-edge Vidar Speed speed detection camera technology, provided by Adaptive. These advanced cameras, seamlessly integrated by Autotraffic, a trusted partner with extensive experience in photo enforcement services, have played a pivotal role in addressing the state’s historically high rate of traffic accidents and fatalities.

The Challenges

The State of Querétaro, Mexico, faced a critical challenge in maintaining road safety, with a high rate of traffic accidents and fatalities. The outdated and inefficient speed enforcement system proved to be inadequate in deterring speeding, a major contributor to these incidents. Additionally, the lack of adequate surveillance systems hampered the monitoring of road conditions and the detection of traffic violations.

The Solution

In response to these challenges, the Government of Querétaro launched the innovative “Clicks de Vida” program, a comprehensive strategy to enhance road safety and save lives. The program’s cornerstone was the implementation of cutting-edge Vidar Speed technology, provided by Adaptive Recognition and seamlessly integrated by Autotraffic, a trusted provider with two decades of experience in photo enforcement services.

The Vidar Speed systems, renowned for their accuracy and efficiency, were deployed across the state’s busiest roads. These advanced cameras played a pivotal role in achieving a remarkable transformation in road safety, including:

  • Advanced Speed Monitoring: The implementation of Vidar Speed speed detector cameras as systems provided authorities with real-time data on vehicle speeds, enabling a proactive approach to target and address instances of speeding. This enhanced speed enforcement became a cornerstone in creating a more responsive and effective road safety strategy.
  • Continuous Traffic Surveillance: By adopting cutting-edge technology, the program facilitated continuous monitoring of traffic conditions. This improvement in surveillance capabilities played a pivotal role in promptly detecting traffic violations and identifying hazardous driving behaviors, contributing to a safer and more controlled road environment.
  • Remarkable Impact on Traffic Safety: The deployment of advanced systems resulted in a noteworthy reduction in traffic accidents. Lives were preserved, and the prevention of severe injuries highlighted the program’s substantial impact on overall road safety. The success in curbing accidents showcased the effectiveness of the program in safeguarding the well-being of both drivers and pedestrians.

  • Integration with Civil Security Intelligence: The Vidar Speed systems seamlessly integrated with the civil security intelligence program, extending their impact beyond traffic safety. This integration proved invaluable in the identification of vehicle characteristics and license plates, contributing significantly to broader crime-solving efforts. The program became not only a guardian of road safety but also a valuable tool in enhancing civil security and law enforcement efforts.

Implementation

The “Clicks de Vida” program was implemented in a phased approach, with the first stage involving the deployment of 22 fixed speed detection systems across 14 key control points. These systems were complemented by 2 mobile tripod units, providing versatility in monitoring traffic flow and responding to incidents.

Autotraffic, a trusted partner with extensive experience in photo enforcement services, played a crucial role in the seamless implementation of the Vidar Speed systems. Their expertise ensured the efficient integration of the technology into the existing traffic infrastructure.

Results

The “Clicks de Vida” program has already yielded remarkable results, transforming the road safety landscape of Querétaro:

  • 98% of Drivers Comply with Speed Limits: A significant shift towards responsible driving practices has been observed, as the vast majority of drivers adhere to speed limits.
  • 50% Reduction in Traffic-Related Injuries: The program’s positive impact on road safety is evident in the 50% decrease in the number of people injured in traffic crashes.
  • Marked Decrease in Speeding: The Vidar Speed speed detection camera systems have effectively deterred speeding behaviors, with a remarkable reduction in the highest speed detected by offenders, from over 160 km/h to approximately 100 km/h.
  • Culture of Responsible Driving: Beyond simply penalizing offenders, the “Clicks de Vida” program promotes a culture of responsible driving. Infraction notifications and incentives like early payment discounts encourage compliance with traffic regulations and foster greater awareness of road safety.
