Traffic SP Directs Strict Action Against Violators
Traffic SP Sagar Jha has directed officials to take strict action against motorists who violate traffic rules.
The enforcement drive targets riders without helmets, drivers and passengers not using seat belts, triple riding and groups of bikers allegedly creating disturbances on city roads.
The Integrated Command and Control Centre’s surveillance team is monitoring traffic around the clock to identify violations and support enforcement.
AI Cameras Automatically Detect Violations
High-tech cameras installed at major roundabouts, intersections and roads across Patna can read vehicle registration numbers automatically.
Once a violation is recorded, an e-challan is sent to the vehicle owner’s registered mobile number, according to the report.
The system enables traffic officials to monitor violations without relying solely on personnel stationed at individual intersections.
Police Urge Motorists To Follow Traffic Rules
Patna Traffic Police has urged residents to follow traffic rules to reduce the risk of accidents and avoid penalties.
Motorcyclists have been advised to wear helmets, while car occupants should use seat belts. Riders have also been warned against carrying more than the permitted number of passengers.
The department’s use of AI-enabled surveillance is intended to strengthen enforcement across the city and encourage safer driving practices.
