Number 1 is along A16
The speed cameras that flash most on average are not in the Randstad, but in Friesland. Research by Independer shows that this province is a leader when it comes to the number of speeding violations per speed camera.
Remarkably, it is therefore the relatively quiet roads in the north and south of the country, and not the busy in the Randstad. The speed camera on the Stadionweg in Heerenveen flashed no less than 13,839 times in the first four months of 2025. This makes this post good for 74 percent of all traffic fines in Friesland.
If the number of speeding offenses is compared to the number of registered passenger cars in Friesland, even 1 in 26 Frisians was hurled there on the voucher. “It is of course possible that the same car has been flashed several times, but it remains an exceptionally high number,” says insurance expert Michel Ypma van Independer. “Certainly when you consider that there are only eight active speed cameras in Friesland, compared to more than two hundred in South Holland, for example.”
Friesland at the top
When it comes to the average number of flash moments per post, Friesland scores the highest with 2,287 speed violations per post. Zeeland follows with an average of 1,623 fines per post, then Gelderland comes with 1,450. In South Holland, where most posts are (209), the average is 1,040 fines per post.
Nevertheless, due to the large number of speed cameras, most motorists were flashed in total: more than 230,000 in four months. According to Ypma, speed cameras in the Randstad, nevertheless, often have a more preventive effect. “On busy roads, people usually do not drive extremely fast, partly because of the traffic. On quiet provincial roads, such as in Friesland or Zeeland, motorists feel less controlled – and that is exactly where speed cameras are effective.”

The speed camera in Heerenveen is then the most active in Friesland, nationwide it is in fourth place. The mobile speed camera on the A16 at Rotterdam-Kralingen leads the list with 21,105 registered speed violations. This is followed by the Europaweg in Groningen (14,606 times) and the Rotterdamsebaan in The Hague.

Fine plus premium: considerably more expensive
Driving too fast does not remain without financial consequences. In addition to the fine, it can also lead to a higher insurance premium. “In the event of heavy traffic violations, for example if you drive more than 30 kilometers per hour, you build up a criminal record,” warns Ypma. “You have to report that when taking out a new car insurance policy. If you don’t do that and if the insurer finds out, your policy can be canceled.”
In 2024, a total of more than 6 million speed violations were registered, accounting for nearly 500 million euros in penalty fees. The average fine was € 77.07. About half of all speeding violations were determined by speed cameras.
