At a glance:
- The European TollTracker database lists more than 22,500 speed cameras and 1,058 average-speed enforcement sections.
- In Poland, the operator reports more than 500 speed cameras, over 200 red-light enforcement locations and 226 average-speed sections.
- The countries covered include Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Spain.
Road-monitoring systems vary across Europe. Alongside conventional speed cameras, drivers may encounter average-speed checks covering a defined stretch of road, cameras monitoring junctions and controls governing access to urban areas. International hauliers must also take account of different traffic regulations and access rules in each country.
The locations of road-enforcement systems in different countries are compiled on the TollTracker interactive map of Europe. According to operator data from September 2026, the database contains more than 22,500 speed cameras, 1,058 average-speed sections, over 4,500 red-light enforcement locations and 391 restricted-traffic zones. The figures come from the project’s own database rather than a consolidated dataset maintained by European traffic authorities.
Poland’s database includes more than 500 speed cameras
Data published by the operator in September 2026 shows that the Polish section of the map covers more than 500 fixed and mobile speed cameras, over 200 red-light enforcement locations and 226 average-speed sections. Users can filter the different categories to see where enforcement systems are located in a selected area.
Average-speed enforcement deserves particular attention. Unlike a conventional speed camera, this system does not measure a vehicle’s speed at a single point. Instead, it calculates the vehicle’s average speed over the entire monitored section.
Poland is also expanding this type of monitoring on motorways and expressways. As part of a project financed through the National Recovery Plan, the General Inspectorate of Road Transport installed 43 additional average-speed enforcement devices. The final device was accepted on 16 June 2026.
Austria, Italy and Germany use different enforcement systems
For international transport operators, information about enforcement infrastructure abroad can be just as important as data from Poland. Each country uses its own combination of tools to enforce road-traffic rules.
Austria, for example, uses Section Control to calculate average vehicle speeds over defined stretches of road. In Italy, similar monitoring is carried out by the Tutor and SICVE systems on the motorway network.
TollTracker’s database lists 36 average-speed sections in Austria, 71 in France and 480 in Italy. It also reports more than 4,500 speed cameras in Germany and over 8,500 in Italy.
The Italian map also identifies ZTL areas, or restricted-traffic zones, found mainly in cities. The project database includes 356 such zones.
In these areas, the key issue is not simply the location of a camera but the access rules themselves. Entry may depend on the vehicle type, whether the operator has the required permit or the time of day.
This can create problems for distribution operators whose deliveries require access to city centres. A driver may comply with the speed limit and still commit an offence by entering a zone where the vehicle is not authorised to travel.
Full European coverage is not yet available
Although the project is ultimately intended to cover 22 countries, the markets are not all at the same stage of rollout.
According to information published on the TollTracker website in September 2026, active maps are available for 14 countries, including Poland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania and Hungary.
The planned rollout list includes countries such as Czechia, Slovakia, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
The online map is available without registration. It forms part of the wider TollTracker project, which also includes a mobile app that warns drivers as they approach mapped enforcement points and restricted zones.
Truck-specific rules still apply
The interactive map draws on an independent database that its operator says is updated regularly. However, planners arranging heavy-vehicle routes should remember that general speed-limit information does not always apply to every vehicle category.
For example, the 140 km/h limit shown for Polish motorways applies to passenger cars and other vehicles covered by that limit. For trucks with a maximum permissible gross weight above 3.5 tonnes and vehicle combinations, the standard motorway and expressway limit in Poland is 80 km/h unless road signs impose a lower restriction.
The map can therefore serve as an additional reference when planning domestic and international routes, helping drivers understand where road-enforcement systems are located across Europe. It does not replace current road signs, local regulations or official information from the authorities responsible for traffic enforcement.
