ANPR Cameras Record 850,000 Violations in 15 Months – LASG

-
In a recent report, the Lagos State Government disclosed that Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras captured 850,000 traffic violations over a 15-month period. These cameras, totaling 53 in number, are strategically installed across various locations in the state to conduct routine monitoring checks.

During the 2024 Ministerial Press Briefing held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Alausa – Ikeja, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, highlighted the efficiency of the Traffic Management Solution (TMS) device. He noted that in the last three months alone, the TMS successfully recorded 26,816 real-time traffic infringements, significantly enhancing traffic enforcement.

Mr. Osiyemi emphasized the broader scope of the ANPR system, which not only captures violations related to prescribed particulars but also detects offenses like vehicles moving against traffic flow. From January 2023 to March 2024, the ANPR cameras recorded a total of 856,680 violations, showcasing their effectiveness in enhancing road safety.

In addition to the ANPR cameras, traffic officers utilize hand-held devices to enforce regulations on various infractions, including rickety vehicles, overloaded vehicles, blacklisted vehicles, as well as unauthorized, illegal, and unregistered vehicles. This comprehensive approach underscores the commitment of the Lagos State Government to improve traffic management and ensure compliance with road safety standards.
