388 new red light cameras to be put into operation in Athens in the coming days
The new cameras will be put into operation within the next 10 days, according to the Minister of Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou.
The activation of 388 new cameras in Attica, which will record drivers who violate red lights, is in the final stretch. According to the Minister of Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou , the equipment has already been installed and the new cameras are expected to be put into operation within the next ten days.
Speaking to SKAI, the minister said that the Attica Region project has been completed, with the installation of the cameras already carried out and their start of operation scheduled for the coming days.
"They were installed and will operate in order to save us from the most dangerous of violations, the violation of the red light. I insist that it is important that we feel safe," the minister emphasized.
As Mr. Papastergiou also pointed out, to date the cameras have recorded approximately 4,000 red light violations, while the relevant calls are sent to the violators within a few hours.
Referring to the artificial intelligence cameras, which can detect violations such as red light violations, using a mobile phone while driving, not wearing a seat belt or helmet and other violations, the minister said that they are already operating on Syngrou, Mesogeion and Vouliagmeni avenues, while two more will be added in the near future.
Responding to a question regarding the possibility of incorrect recordings by the system, Mr. Papastergiou clarified: "There were 0.7% of calls where objections were accepted - in the first phase until the system was set up and people learned how to operate it -, recently no such case has been recorded.
