Automated system to record traffic violations

The system has been installed on both carriageways of the 19.8km phase-2 of the expressway linking UP Gate and Dasna, and the 32km phase-4 linking Dasna and Meerut.

From next week, traffic violators on the 50km stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Expressway (DME) in Uttar Pradesh will not go scot-free as an automated system of capturing them is likely to go online, according to officials aware of the development.

The system will capture speeding vehicles, those driving on the wrong side as well as vehicles not allowed on the highway, said officials.

The National Highways Authority of India and the Ghaziabad traffic police have begun integrating their systems by which high speed cameras and automatic number plate readers on the expressway will capture instances of traffic violations and will automatically issue challans against the offenders.
