[Reporter Peng Jianli/Miaoli Report] Miaoli County’s 10-month speed measurement law enforcement on 140 county roads has banned more than 10,000 cases, triggering a local backlash, especially nearly 7 kilometers of which are elevated roads.

After discussions in the Daoan Huibao, and repeated surveys by the county government and the local government, it was decided to exclude the elevated road section from the range of speed measurement in the interval, adjust it to be implemented before and after the elevated road section, and add a fixed speed measuring camera pole.

The Miaoli County Police Department stated that the funding of more than 4 million yuan has been approved by the county magistrate. After receiving the official document reply, the contract can be issued online.

Due to the protection of stone tigers, the county government has set up a nearly 9-kilometer section of Zhuolan Road Long interval speed measurement, the speed limit is 60 kilometers.

After discussing in the Daoan meeting report, and after repeated surveys by the county government and the local government, a consensus was reached under the consideration of stone tiger conservation, driving safety, and convenient transportation. K~17.2K", "23.1K~25.1K", and add a fixed camera pole at the downhill of the 20K elevated section.

The County Police Department said that there are currently 3 portals in the speed measuring section of the 140 county road section, and the adjustment to the elevated section will be carried out in sections. It is estimated that more than 4 million yuan will be needed, which has been signed by the county magistrate and sent to the county council for ratification and advance payment.
