Context: the latest announcement replaces the initial expectation
ANTT informed on 18/09/2026 the temporary suspension of average speed control tests on granted highways, for technical, procedural, and communication adjustments. In the same statement, it stated that no driver had been penalized based on this system. The text does not set a date for resumption: the agency informs that it will announce the next steps after the improvements.
The initial announcement, from 14/09, dealt with experimental projects. We have gathered both records on this page so that the reader does not find the authorization of the tests as if it were the most recent state of the project. The consultation of sources was made on 22/09/2026.
TRRC Analysis: do not extrapolate the scope of the statement
The information about the absence of penalties refers to the experiment described by ANTT. It is not a statement about all existing means of inspection, nor a justification to change vehicle driving. For management, the useful question is how to communicate the update without turning a specific news into a general traffic guideline.
In practice: update team communication
If the company shared the initial announcement, add the suspension statement in the same channel, with the date and source. Avoid forwarding only the title of the old news or an image without context. Record which information was confirmed and what still depends on a new announcement.
In trip planning, work with route, road conditions, stops, and combined window. A change in an experimental project does not demonstrate a reduction in the time needed to complete the route. If the estimated arrival is tight, clarify the assumptions with the planning team; do not turn business hours into an incentive to speed up.
Impact for readers
The carrier can correct internal instructions based on the previous announcement. The shipper can keep the discussion of delivery windows linked to real planning. The autonomous driver can consult the full statement before passing on messages about alleged charges or penalties from the test.
The Regulatory Radar helps to separate news, proposal, and change with a confirmed date. For the cost of a trip, the diesel guide allows evaluating assumptions without promising savings associated with speed.
