New traffic surveillance cameras have been installed to catch violators for speeding, jumping a red light and not following mandatory lane rules.

Due to an increase in traffic offences at the Awafi bridge intersection and Al Hadaf (Target) intersection, Ras Al Khaimah Police have activated new cameras in these two locations.

Police on Monday said the new cameras have been installed to ensure the safety of motorists.

Drivers not following these rules will be slapped with a fine of Dh1,000 and will receive 12 black points. The vehicle will be impounded for a whole month.

Top official at Ras Al Khaimah police said that the Traffic and Patrols Department has taken the action in coordination with the Department of Electronic Services of Ras Al Khaimah Police to ensure motorists' safety.

He added the step is also a part of a series of smart systems adopted by Ras Al Khaimah to support the security monitoring project within the framework of the smart city system.

The cameras have been activated in these intersections that require speed control to reduce the rate of injuries and deaths due to fatal traffic accidents.
