Speed guns are being increasingly used to monitor speeding vehicles, ensuring traffic safety and enforcing speed regulations.
| Aspect | Radar Speed Guns | LIDAR Speed Guns |
| Technology Used | Use radio waves to measure speed. | Use laser light (Light Detection and Ranging). |
| Accuracy | Lower accuracy due to radio wave divergence. | Higher accuracy due to minimal beam divergence. |
| Targeting | May struggle with multiple objects due to wave spread. | Better suited for specific targeting with focused beams. |
| Primary Application | Commonly used for traffic speed monitoring. | Preferred for applications requiring precise measurements. |
| Components | Contains a transmitter for radio waves and a receiver for reflected waves. | Contains a laser emitter and a detector for reflected beams. |
| Operation | Calculates speed using the Doppler effect based on radio wave frequency shifts. | Calculates speed based on changes in laser light frequency. |
| Limitations | Susceptible to interference and inaccuracies in crowded environments. | More expensive and sophisticated but highly accurate. |
