The Lagos State Government has said drivers caught speeding by its newly installed cameras will pay the sum of N50,000 while red light offenders will pay N20,000.
This was announced on Thursday by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the introduction of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in four locations across the state.
According to him, the new installations will complement the state’s existing ANPR cameras and other Traffic Management Solution (TMS) devices.
He emphasized the government’s commitment to improving road safety, optimizing traffic management, and fostering a more efficient transportation network in a rapidly growing city
“These checkpoint sites are strategically located to detect & deter cases of overspeeding, which remains one of the leading causes of road accidents. Offenders for overspeeding will be fined N50,000
On the other hand, the e-Police Sites for Traffic Violations are installed at Allen Avenue Rd Junction & Nurudeen Olowopopo Rd.
These e-Police sites are designed to detect a wide range of traffic violations, including running red lights, non-compliance with lane discipline, illegal U-turns, and reverse driving on highways,” he said.
He added that enforcement commences immediately.
Motorists who violate traffic laws as detected by the ITS will receive SMS notifications from the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) department detailing the nature of the violation and the corresponding fines to be paid. Red light offenders will be fined N20,000.
