UAE: 26 electronic gates to catch traffic violators, track mobile phone users in Ajman

Twenty-six locations have been identified for installing electronic gates to catch traffic violators in Ajman as part of the smart monitoring system that was activated on October 1.

This AI-operated system utilises smart monitoring with cameras to detect violations such as using a mobile phone while driving and not wearing a seat belt. The smart system aims to reduce road accidents and enhance traffic safety for both drivers and pedestrians, Sheikh Major General Sultan bin Abdullah Al Nuaimi, Commander-in-Chief of Ajman Police, said.

The Ajman Police relies in its strategic plans on an integrated security system to achieve the highest levels of traffic safety for drivers, passengers and pedestrians, which enhances the level of security in traffic systems and laws, and makes roads safer.

According to the authority, issuing violations using smart systems contributes to providing the highest levels of traffic safety and avoiding the negative consequences of driving a vehicle with an expired licence.

Screens on the gates will also spread traffic and social awareness and announce celebrations around the UAE. They also have fog sensors that direct drivers to lower their speed and focus on the road.

Ajman Police urged everyone to adhere to traffic rules and regulations.
