The REG-X units have a horizontal field of view of about 
6ft – 8ft (1.8m – 2.4m) at the specified capture range 
distance for the REG-X as shown on 

Figure 3  

below. 

Since most vehicles have license plates mounted in the 
center of the front or back and the normal width for a 
standard traffic lane in a controlled parking or access lane 
is 8ft to 10ft (2.4m – 3.0m) this ensures that the license 
plate is in view whatever the position of the vehicle within 
the lane. If the traffic lane is wider than 10ft (3m) it is 
advisable to implement traffic guides to control the 
vehicles moving through the lane.
