Be careful while driving on Mumbai-Pune Expressway, police are keeping a close watch with 430 hi-tech cameras!

The Government of India is making every effort to reduce accidents on highways and expressways. To keep a close watch on those violating traffic rules, the administration has installed 430 cameras on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. This hi-tech camera is quite advanced. It not only provides excellent visibility but also can trace vehicles traveling at high speed within a few seconds.

Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) is installing 430 hi-tech CCTV cameras at 106 locations along the route by mid-October. MSRDC Joint MD Sanjay Yadav said that all the cameras on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway will be connected to a central control room through an optical fiber network. An Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) will document various traffic violations, such as over-speeding, careless driving, wrong-way driving, stopping on the motorway, changing lanes driving in the wrong lane, etc.

The system will also have a spot and average speed detection system at 39 locations and a lane discipline violation detection system at 34 locations. 130 locations on the e-way will be equipped with wrong entry detection, while variable message signs and weather monitoring systems will be installed at 23 locations and 11 locations respectively.
