Saudi Arabia is continuously advancing and improving with latest regulations based on latest technology trends to ensure safety and security on roads to protect motorists and pedestrians. For speed limits violation, Saudi Arabia already uses automatic camera based violation detection and fines are imposed on motorists violating speed limits on various roads. Now, another big cause of traffic hazard–changing lanes on road while driving inappropriately has been considered to be checked in an automatic way to penalize the violators and help improving driving standards.
In this post, we will explain in detail about road lane changing automatic monitoring in Saudi Arabia.
Lane Changing: Automatic Detection and Fines System in Saudi Arabia
While you are bound legally to abide by all traffic rules as a driver in Saudi Arabia and police may stop and impose fine on you in case of any traffic rules violation observed, automatic fines are also possible with cameras detecting your traffic violations while driving on the roads of Saudi Arabia.
According to Moroor offcial twitter account’s recent tweets, violations about changing road lanes will be monitored automatically and violators will be fined accordingly. This automatic checking of lane change violation will be started in Riyadh, Jeddah and Damam.
Here is the tweet from Moroor Saudi Arabia about this traffic lane change violation automatic monitoring:
