Claim:
An over axle weight vehicle detecting system comprising: an axle weight detecting section configured to detect a weight of an axle of a vehicle at a first position on a lane for generating an over axle weight signal; a sensor configured to detect a vehicle at a second position set within 8 meters downstream side of the first position to generate a detection signal; a camera unit configured to take an image of a vehicle in response to the detection signal; and an over axle weight vehicle candidate extracting section configured to choose a first vehicle and a second vehicle as candidates of an over axle weight vehicle violating an axle weight regulation when the axle weight exceeds a predetermined value, wherein the first vehicle comprises one of a vehicle currently being detected by the sensor if the over axle weight signal is generated after the detection signal, and a vehicle next detected by the sensor if the over axle weight signal is generated before the detection signal; and the second vehicle comprises a vehicle detected by the sensor immediately after the first vehicle.
