A “speed-meter money box” was installed earlier this month on a stretch of road notorious for speeding in Helmond, a city in North Brabant province in the Netherlands. The speedometer is entirely mobile and the speed limit, amount collected per vehicle, and savings goal can be customised. It will be displayed throughout North Brabant throughout 2018 and 2019, with individual cities left to decide the fundraising target and the community project to benefit from it. “Most people don’t consciously speed, they don’t want to endanger other people – it’s just the road sort of invites you to go fast. Two speedometers on display there last year found 64% of passing cars to be over the speed limit.
