Poland
Fotoradar, OPP and red lights
CANARD distinguishes spot-speed cameras, OPP average-speed systems and red-signal enforcement at junctions or railway crossings. These systems do not necessarily check the same offence. An installation announcement does not prove that a device is operating.

Poland
A case with photographs and measurement data
CANARD processing includes the place, time, photograph, plate and speed data where relevant. The owner may receive a request to identify the driver. A photograph is evidence in the case, not an automatic cancellation mechanism when a face is unclear.

Penalty and case checks
Check the facts, offence and document before looking up the applicable amount in złoty. In May 2026, CANARD published a notice about incorrect measurements on a specific A6 section. That supports checking individual cases, not assuming every camera is defective or challenging all notices indiscriminately.
