In February, the Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, in collaboration with Huawei Technologies, deployed new Intelligent Transport System sites to monitor and detect speeding and manage traffic flows.

According to the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the installations would complement the existing Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras and other Traffic Management Solution devices.

The Commissioner stated that the fine for violating the red light is N20,000 and the fine for violating the speed limit is N50,000.

These locations are powered with speed cameras, traffic lights and e-police stations to monitor and enforce road safety.

Motorists caught violating traffic laws at these locations will receive SMS notifications from the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS), detailing the nature of the violation and the corresponding fines.
