Toskovski: "Soon 'Safe City' will be able to detect helmet non-wearing"

Toskovski announced on October 3, 2026: "Soon 'Safe City' will be able to detect helmet non-wearing." The declaration, published at 16:49, signals an expansion of the country's existing urban surveillance capabilities.

How the upgrade is described

According to Toskovski's statement, the "Safe City" system will be enhanced so it can identify when riders are not wearing helmets. The official used the phrase: "Soon 'Safe City' will be able to detect helmet non-wearing."

No technical specifics or an exact rollout schedule were included with the announcement. The description suggests the change will rely on camera monitoring and automated recognition tools, but the timeframe was only framed as "soon."

Officials framed the enhancement as part of efforts to improve road safety and to strengthen enforcement of helmet rules in urban areas. The announcement did not list penalties or the agencies that will carry out enforcement.

The statement exists alongside other domestic developments reported the same day, but the immediate public takeaway is that surveillance technology in urban centres will have new traffic-safety functions in the near future.

Observers and affected groups have not been quoted in the brief bulletin; further information, including legal and privacy safeguards, has not yet been published.
