A total of 1,325 motorists were given stalls by the police in the space of just over an hour. The price is 90 euros for each driver and a penalty point in the corre card.
However, many motorists could have easily avoided the 90 euros, equivalent to 671 kroner, that the booth reads. This is explained by traffic lawyer Tom Louven.

However, the price may well be higher than the 90 euros. It depends entirely on whether the driver continues past the sign in the same lane.
