Tickets will be issued soon to errant road users who have been caught by the now operational e-ticketing system that is being piloted by the government.
According to a press release posted on President Irfaan Ali’s Facebook page, on the first day of testing, the system was able to record close to 10,000 vehicles traversing the new Mandela-Eccles highway, with approximately 1,500 users committing traffic violations, such as speeding and not wearing seatbelts.
The release said tickets would be issued within the next few weeks, while noting that the system is expected to be expanded to many busy areas, removing the need for police officers to monitor traffic and write and process tickets for traffic violations.
