112 Radar, un
the expresion is most commonly used to refer to speed cameras on French roads. There are two types of radars, les radars fixes, stationary speed cameras, and les radars mobiles, which may be mobile, i.e. in police vehicles, or set up in a temporary location beside the road. The presence of stationary speed cameras is always indicated by a warning sign between a couple of hundred metres and a few kilometres before the device. There is no advance warning for mobile speed cameras. The multiplacation of speed cameras on French roads since the mid 1990s has led to a dramatic fall in the number of accidents and fatalities. Radar was also the name of a chain of French hypermarkets in the 1980s.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Radar, un
