Speed Cameras in Hungary 2026 – Up-to-Date Interactive Map

As of September 2026, Hungary has 516 fixed speed-enforcement points and 10 red-light cameras. We keep them all on an up-to-date interactive map, refreshed with every change: here is what to know before you set off.

The up-to-date speed camera map

Every known fixed enforcement point is marked on the interactive map of speed cameras in Hungary. The map is free, runs in your browser and shows exactly where each camera stands.

The number is higher than the VÉDA gate count you may have read about: the 516 points cover the VÉDA gates and the other fixed measuring sites together.

What is a VÉDA gate?

The VÉDA intelligent road camera network is built from fixed gates and mobile units. The gates do not only measure speed: they read your plate automatically, check that your insurance and roadworthiness test are valid, and can also flag an unfastened seatbelt.

That is the part that surprises visiting drivers. At a VÉDA gate, speeding is not the only thing that gets you a letter.

Trafibox: the box that may or may not be live

A Trafibox is a fixed steel housing placed beside the road that accepts the police's portable laser device. From the outside you cannot tell whether there is an active camera inside today.

That is deliberate. The box slows traffic simply by being there — which is exactly why its location is worth knowing, even on the days it sits empty.

New measuring devices in 2026

New-generation devices appeared on Hungarian roads during the summer of 2026. They use miniature, low-power, modulated K-band radar and laser (LIDAR) units, and some older detectors do not pick them up.

They can turn up on motorway gantries, at temporary roadworks, on mobile tripods or in unmarked vehicles. Our map tracks the fixed points — we do not promise coverage of mobile checks, because those move from day to day.

Will Hungary introduce average-speed enforcement?

Right now there is no average-speed section enforcement running on the Hungarian road network. During the summer of 2026, though, a serious professional and public debate opened about introducing it, and the existing camera systems may be technically capable of it — the obstacle is the legal framework rather than the hardware.

If it arrives, the logic will be entirely different from what Hungarian drivers are used to. What counts is not your speed at the moment you pass the camera but your average across the whole stretch, so braking just before the camera does not help. In neighbouring countries this is already routine: Austria runs 36 such sections.

Real-time alerts while you drive

A map is useful before a trip, but on the road you do not want to browse — you want to be told in time. The TollTracker app for iOS and Android warns you about fixed enforcement points well before the camera comes into view.

This is not about beating the system. It is about not being ambushed by a letter three weeks after your holiday. See what the app does.

Driving on from Hungary?

Hungary is a transit country, and the rules change the moment you cross the border. The full map of road enforcement in Europe covers speed cameras, average-speed sections and restricted zones across the continent.

Two common directions in particular: the speed camera map of Croatia and the speed camera map of Austria.

Drive calm: check your route on the map, turn on the alerts and forget about surprise letters.
