During the month of January, 3,167 traffic violations were logged by the new no-flash cameras installed in Abu Dhabi.
The cameras, which were installed at several junctions around Abu Dhabi, utilise infrared to snap traffic violations from five different angles.
According to Col Mohammed Khalifa Al Khaili, director of the traffic engineering and road safety department at Abu Dhabi Police, said the cameras are programmed to detect several different traffic violations including jumping red lights, blocking pedestrian paths and exceeding the speed limit.
As part of the project, 150 light-controlled junctions in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region will be fitted with these cameras.
