The Kerala Road Safety Authority (KRSA), Motor Vehicles Department, and the police are facing flak for not making optimal use of digital enforcement systems that were launched with much fanfare to rein in traffic rule violators on highways and arterial roads.
The systems include 240 speed violation detection cameras and allied surveillance equipment that were installed on road stretches in 2012, most of which fell into disuse due to slack upkeep. Road-safety experts have been crying foul at the alleged slackness by these agencies in proactively keeping tab of, and if needed, intercepting rashly driven vehicles with the help of these digital systems.
