Interior Ministry’s Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic and Operations Affairs Maj Gen Jamal AlSayegh yesterday launched 18 vehicles fitted with mobile speed cameras on main and side roads.

General Department of Public Relations and Security Media at Ministry of Interior explained that the they are installed with a Point-to-Point (P2P) system which captures image of the violating vehicles and their number plates on the front and rear ends. It also calculates the time taken by a vehicle from one point to another.

If the vehicle takes shorter time than the average time evaluated for the distance based on the permitted speed limits, it means the vehicle had covered that distance at a high speed.

The P2P system will be enforced on Jan 20 this year on Abdali Road from Kilo Mark 0 to Kilo Mark 80. P2P system consists of eight smart cameras that are installed on Abdali Road.
