The Sharjah Police on Tuesday announced the installation of 30 intelligent radar devices on the internal and external roads of the emirate.
The new smart radars installed will target primarily speeding motorists and aggressive tailgaters but can also track a long list of driving transgressions.
It can catch different traffic violations at the same time, including vehicles going slower than the minimum speed, vehicles not leaving enough distance between other vehicles, heavy vehicles not abiding by their designated lanes, heavy vehicles that are on the road outside their designated timings and vehicles driving on the hard shoulder.
The new radars are so intelligent that they are programmed to watch traffic from both sides of the road and catch more than one violation at the same time in either direction.
The new radar is fitted with 3G technology that instantly sends data such as licence plate numbers directly to the traffic department.
The move has come as part of police plans to implement the Government Acceleration Program and to achieve the National Agenda of 2021 in the field of traffic.
Brigadier Saif Mohammad Al Ziri Al Shamsi, commander-in-chief of Sharjah Police, said that the radars have been installed over 30 weeks around the emirate, including Al Dhaid Road, Maliha Street, Emirates Road, Mohammed bin Zayed Road, among others.
The smart radar is capable of recording live scenes and errors committed by drivers,” he said.
