📋 Tender Overview
on March 12, at At 8:00 a.m., the average driving speed will be controlled on six more sections of state highways: Vidzeme highway (A2): from Krasta street in Ierikis to highway P20 (turning to Cesis) (72.25-77.15 km), from Berzkrog to Smiltene circle (94.8-125.7 km); Valmiera highway (A3) from Stalbe to Rubene (40.1-55.6 km); Daugavpils highway (A6) from Dzelme to Upleje (66.1-77.0 km); Ventspils highway (A10) between the roundabouts near Tukums (63.4- 68.0 km); highway Tinuzi - Koknese (P80) from Tinuzi to Ziedini (0.5-1.8 km). During these stages, the equipment will control the average driving speed, OCTA, technical inspection and the payment of road user fee. It is planned that this year a total of 17 new average driving speed control sections will start operating on national roads. After March 12, until May, it is planned to connect the remaining eight sections: Liepaja highway (A9) from Apsupe to Tiltinu (39.1-56.7 km); Riga Ring Road (A4) (Baltezers-Saulkalne): from the intersection with the Riga-Ergli highway (P4) to the bridge over Mazo Jugla (10.1-13.9 km), from the intersection with the P5 highway to the crossing over the Daugavpils highway (A6) (14.5-19.9 km); Riga bypass (A5) (Salaspils-Babite) after the Misa canal to the gas station (14.2- 20.1 km); the Tinuzi - Koknese highway (P80) from the two-level intersection with the Augsligatne-Skriveri highway (P32) to the rotation circle near Koknese (40.9-60.1 km); the main national highway Jekabpils-Rezekne-Ludza-Russian border (A12): from Varaklani to Kristceli (61.4-69.0 km), from Greiskani to the 108th km of the A12 highway (106.3-108.1 km); highway Sloka-Talsi (P128) from Ragaciem to Klapkalnciem (13.6-19.4 km). According to the results of the open procurement, the amount of the SIA contract to install the control equipment in 17 stages is EUR 1,990,379.12 (including VAT). It includes the supply, installation and maintenance of the equipment and system for a period of five years. The works are financed from the funds of the Latvian Vehicle Insurers Office, allocated by the Road Traffic Safety Council. About average speed control Previously, 16 average driving speed control sections were already operating in the national road network, which were chosen taking into account the statistics of road traffic accidents (CSNg) for the last three years, as well as the total traffic intensity, the proportion of freight transport and traffic organization (prohibition of overtaking). Average driving speed control is one of the tools for improving traffic safety. Statistics on accidents in the existing 16 average speed control sections show that the number of road traffic accidents, including serious accidents, is decreasing in them. The average driving speed control system is an automatic traffic monitoring solution that determines the average driving speed of a vehicle on a specific road section, based on the time in which this section is taken. The equipment installed at the beginning and end of the controlled road section records the time of entry and exit of the vehicle. Based on this data, the average speed of the vehicle in the respective section is determined. The information was prepared by the VSIA Communication Department
