My Winter Car Speed Camera Locations & How to Avoid Fines

What to know

• There are two speed cameras on the Alivieska highway, one near the job site and one near the dump turnoff.​
• Passenger cars have an 80 km/h limit; commercial vehicles (like trucks) are limited to 70 km/h at the cameras.​
• The cameras use induction loops in the road, so radar detectors don’t help; you need to know the spots and watch your speed.​
• If you get flashed, a ticket with a photo of your car arrives in your mailbox the next in‑game week, and the fine depends on how much you were over.​

In My Winter Car, there are two fixed speed cameras on the main paved Alivieska highway, and they never move. One is located between your workplace and the Loppe intersection/bridge, and the other sits between the turnoff to your house and the dump turnoff, routes you’ll pass often while commuting or running errands.

Each camera checks your speed against a vehicle-specific limit: 80 km/h for passenger cars and 70 km/h for commercial vehicles. Exceed the limit by a clear margin and the camera will flash, capturing a photo of your car and license plate. If caught, you’ll receive a fine by mail the following Monday, complete with the photo evidence.

How to avoid speeding tickets

Since radar detectors and jammers don’t work in My Winter Car, avoiding fines comes down to careful driving and knowing where the cameras are. Slow down near key landmarks, ease off after Fleetari when heading to work and after the airfield when driving home, and keep your speed just under the limit (about 75–78 km/h in cars, 65–68 km/h in vans or trucks).

Drive smoothly, lift off the throttle early, and avoid sudden acceleration near camera zones. You can also avoid tickets by driving without license plates, but this risks other penalties and isn’t a reliable long-term solution.

What happens if you get flashed

If a speed camera flashes as you pass, you’ll receive a ticket in your mailbox the following in-game Monday. The letter includes a photo of your car and the fine amount, which increases the faster you were going. Minor overspeeding results in smaller fines, while major violations can seriously hurt your savings.

Staying ticket-free long term

Avoiding speed camera fines in My Winter Car comes down to good habits. Learn the camera locations, use landmarks as cues, slow down early, and keep your speed in check, before long, passing them becomes second nature and you can focus on enjoying the drive.
