"In France, there are several types of speed cameras, but arguably the most discreet type is the mobile 'radar' car ( les radars mobiles or voitures-radars). These are speed cameras installed in police and private vehicles, and they drive on French roads. Normally, these vehicles can be recognised if they are operated by gendarmes or police (and are therefore marked), but many are run by private companies that operate unmarked cars."
"According to French daily Le Figaro, the latest model of mobile speed cameras - the Ford Focus IV - will be harder to detect because they will have tinted rear windows, making it more difficult to see the camera in the back. Previously, motorists could spot private mobile speed cameras thanks to the large rectangular speed camera visible in the rear window. There will be around 40 new Ford Focus IV mobile radar cars on French roads in 2025, Le Figaro reported."
France operates several types of speed cameras, with mobile 'radar' cars being the most discreet. These speed cameras are installed in police and private vehicles and drive on public roads. Many mobile radar cars are run by private companies and are unmarked, making them harder to spot. The latest model, the Ford Focus IV, will feature tinted rear windows that obscure the rear-mounted camera. Around 40 Ford Focus IV mobile radar cars will be introduced in 2025, targeting departments in the south and south-east. Nearly 400 mobile speed cameras were in service as of 2025, with plans to shift most operation to private firms.
