Finland's traffic authority and the police have started a three month campaign to improve road safety.
As part of the effort, the agency says it is revealing the locations of 25 of its active speed cameras.
There are a total of some 955 speed camera boxes on the roads and highways of Finland, but only 120 of them are equipped with cameras at time, according to Trafi, the Finnish Transport Safety Agency.
In an effort to keep drivers within the speed limit, the agency announced that it is publicly announcing the locations of 25, or roughly one-fifth, of Finland's active speed cameras.
The first cameras were revealed on Trafi's website (map, mostly in Finnish) on Monday. The revealed active speed cameras will also appear in some advanced GPS navigation systems, according to Trafi.
The aim of the three month campaign is to improve traffic safety, according to the police's director of traffic safety, Superintendent Dennis Pasterstein.
Fear of being caught a deterrent
To do so, he says, driving speeds need to be brought down.
"If we get good results with [the campaign] there's a possibility that the programme will continue. We want to know how many active speed cameras we can reveal," Pasterstein said.
There is also the possibility that authorities could publicly announce locations of some regular traffic patrols, Pasterstein said.
However there are no plans to reveal where all of the automatic speed cameras are active, he said.
"If all of the active cameras would be revealed, drivers' fears of being caught speeding would go down. Drivers change their behaviours. Of course we hope that drivers would follow the speed limit without surveillance. But since that doesn't happen we have to keep a large number of the active cameras secret," Pasterstein said.
