There are several new radars on the roads of Maribor, most of them will be fake, only two will be real.

The city of Maribor is purchasing six housings for stationary speed measuring devices and four imitation speed measuring devices, while renting two actual speed-measuring radars for 12 months. This means that some of the devices on Maribor roads will be fake, indistinguishable from real ones from the outside. The housing units must be designed so that they cannot be visually distinguished from those containing active radars. The real radars will be mobile and able to measure speeds between 20 km/h and 180 km/h, capable of detecting multiple vehicles simultaneously in both directions. They will include color cameras with at least 15 MP resolution, automatic identification of lanes and vehicles, and automatic license plate recognition (OCR). The delivery deadline for the housings and imitators is 20 days after the contract is signed, while the rented radars must be operational within 10 days.
