Another 36 speed cameras

From April, Cyprus’ traffic camera network will be enhanced with 16 more mobile and 20 fixed cameras installed in towns, while another 66 devices will be imported by the end of the year.

Once the EUR 34 mln system is fully operational, there will be 90 fixed units in 30 locations and 20 mobile cameras which police will determine their place of operation.

Cyprus police said motorists are growing accustomed to the new cameras and are increasingly complying with traffic regulations.

Violations recorded by the four mobile and four fixed cameras had dropped to 600 a day, from 800 in January and 1,500 when they were first introduced on a pilot scheme in October last year.
