For the past 50 years, Gatso engineers, scientists, and photographic experts — innovators all — have been working diligently to create the world's most sophisticated traffic enforcement systems.
Gatso USA isn't simply a camera manufacturer; we're an integrated solutions provider. What does that mean beyond the fancy language? It means that throughout the life of your Gatso USA contract, we'll install, operate and maintain all camera and detection systems. We'll issue the citations (with your approval) and collect the fines. We'll also assist you to create a campaign of public service announcements (PSAs) to inform and educate the public about the program.
Whether your interest in photo enforcement programs focuses on red light cameras, speed enforcement cameras, point-to-point systems, railroad or bus lane cameras, Gatso USA has a pedigree of confidence like no other company. As the Gatsometer group of companies celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2008, our history delivers credibility and our technology delivers certainty — your future program deserves nothing less.
Gatso can help you make your community a safer one in multiple ways:
Red-light enforcement:
Traffic safety depends on each motorist's commitment to obey red lights. Motorists who run them endanger other motorists, pedestrians, and themselves. That's why a dependable, tamper-proof red-light enforcement system is critical to any community's traffic safety strategy. And having the ability to cite drivers for red-light violations without deploying valuable police resources is an important factor in your overall safety plan.
Motorists will think twice, word will spread, and, as a result, more drivers will obey the red lights at your intersections. Worldwide studies show that photo enforcement at red-light controlled intersections leads to a 20% to 30% reduction in injury-causing crashes. That's the biggest benefit of all.
Speed on green enforcement:
Equally dangerous are those motorists who drive above the posted speed limit through an intersection whatever the light color. Gatso systems can capture these violations as well and issue citations, giving violators an incentive to stay within the speed limit the next time they travel through a green-light intersection. It's just one more way Gatso helps you extend your traffic safety efforts without overextending your local resources.
Fixed speed enforcement:
Of course, intersections aren't the only places where accidents occur. Open stretches of road lend themselves to violations by motorists who feel that "speed limits don't apply to them." Triggered by road-embedded or non-invasive speed detectors, Gatso cameras capture images of these offenders. And with our end-to-end, or "violation-to-citation" service, they'll be surprised by how fast they'll receive a ticket.
No matter which enforcement measures you choose, you can feel confident with Gatso. Rest assured you'll not only cite the right people for the right violations, you'll also publicize your community's commitment to safety.
