Traffic department introduced new speed camera system 
The traffic department has introduced a number of new hi-tech speed cameras in various locations, which effectively calculate vehicles speed within a defined area. The new cameras which were introduced for an initial test period have so far proved highly effective. Unlike the traditional speed cameras, which work by photographing speeding vehicles, the new one uses a system of two cameras apiece; the first one photographs each car, registering its details and time of entering the precisely measured zone covered. The second camera meanwhile, registers the exact time at which the vehicle leaves the zone. Motorist driving at normal speed will take ten minutes or more to drive the distance between one camera and the next, but those breaking the speed limit will take a shorter period, Arabic daily reported quoting officials. By introducing the two camera system, the traffic department hopes to accurately determine average speeds and catch more speeding drivers, the report added. |
