On the roads of the Kursk region installed 31 cameras fixing traffic violations

This year, 31 additional devices for photo and video recording of traffic violations appeared on the roads of the Kursk region. New complexes are deployed both in the regional center and Zheleznogorsk, and on federal and regional highways, the Ministry of Transport of the Kursk region reported.

Now experts are completing the setup of equipment. It is expected that soon the complexes will go into operation and begin to record violations. In addition to speed control, cameras will respond to unfastened seatbelts, driver mobile phone use, oncoming lane exit, lane traffic for public transport, and ignoring road signs when turning or turning.

The placement of new complexes was agreed with the traffic police and selected in areas with a high concentration of accidents.

To date, the total number of operating photo-video fixation complexes in the Kursk region is 195 units. Information about their location is available on the official website of the regional traffic police.

Last year, more than 1 million orders were issued using stationary and mobile cameras, of which a significant part (over 945,000) were for speeding.

The main goal of ITS implementation is to improve safety and save lives, not just punish drivers. Such systems have proven their effectiveness in improving the road situation and increasing the discipline of road users, especially in emergency areas, said Alexander Zamaraev, Minister of Transport and Highways of the Kursk Region.

In the new 2027, it is planned to install another 11 photo-video fixation complexes in places with an increased risk of accidents.
