I-Via Verde, eyasungulwa ngo-1991, yayiwuhlelo lokuphayona emhlabeni wonke. Ngo-1995 yanwetshwa kuyo yonke indawo futhi yenza iPortugal yaba izwe lokuqala ukuba nohlelo lokukhokhiswa kwe-toll olungami.
Uma kubhekwa iminyaka yayo, kungalindeleka ukuthi lolu hlelo lungasenazo “izimfihlo”. Nokho-ke kunento esaqhubeka nokufaka ukungabaza kubashayeli abaningi: singahlawuliswa yini ukushayela ngaphezu kuka-60 km/h eVia Verde?
Ukuthi uhlelo luyakwazi ukufunda isihlonzi ngisho nangesivinini esikhulu esivele sisazi, kodwa ingabe akhona ama-toll radar?
Ingabe akhona ama-radar?
Ukuvakashela ngokushesha ingxenye ethi “Ukwesekwa Kwamakhasimende” kuwebhusayithi ye-Via Verde kusinika impendulo: “I-Via Verde ayinawo ama-radar afakiwe etolls, futhi ayinawo amandla okwenza umsebenzi wokuhlolwa kwethrafikhi”.Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
I-Via Verde yengeza kulolu lwazi ukuthi "iziphathimandla zethrafikhi nezokuthutha kuphela, okuyi-GNR Traffic Brigade, zinamandla omthetho okuhlola futhi yilezi ziphathimandla kuphela ezikwazi ukusebenzisa ama-radar."
Kodwa singahlawuliswa?
Nakuba, njengoba kushiwo yi-Via Verde, awekho ama-radar afakiwe emalini ekhokhelwayo, lokhu akusho ukuthi uma uhamba ngesivinini emzileni obekelwe i-Via Verde, awubeki engozini yokuhlawuliswa.
Kungani? Kalula nje ngoba akukho okuvimba iziphathimandla zemigwaqo nezomgwaqo ukuthi zifake ama- radar ethu aziwayo kuleyo migwaqo. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, uma sishayela ngaphezu kwezintela ezingama-60 km/h, sizohlawuliswa njengakunoma yisiphi esinye isimo.
Empeleni, umbuzo wokuthi singakwazi yini ukuhamba ngaphezu kuka-60 km/h ku-Via Verde ufanele impendulo “eyaphakade” yiGato Fedorento: “ungakwazi, kodwa akufanele”.
