Amid the increasing number of vehicles in the tech capital, traffic violations are also said to be rising daily. Along with hand-held FTVR machines, CCTV cameras, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), and Red-Light Violation Detection (RLVD) cameras are also in place to record traffic violations on the road.

The increasing number of fatal accidents involving two-wheeler drivers has also become a matter of concern for the police. A senior police officer said earlier, “Safety concerns regarding two-wheeler users can’t be overemphasized. 60% of Fatal accident victims are two-wheeler users. Only 2/3 of such victims use helmets. Not wearing a helmet amounts to contributory negligence. Safe driving would reduce such deaths substantially.”
