Early data from the first 48 hours
On the first day of operation, 12 October, 148 violations were recorded; the following day (13 October) the system logged the same number — 148 — up to 19:00. The incidents were entered automatically by the monitoring equipment across the four municipalities.
According to the police, the most frequent violations involved exceeding the speed limit both inside and outside populated areas, running red traffic lights and driving unregistered vehicles.
SVR Ohrid stated that every registered offence has been documented in the system. Notifications are being sent to the owners of the vehicles involved via SMS messages and electronic mail.
Authorities say the data will be used to enforce traffic rules and to follow up administratively with vehicle owners. The Safe City network continues to collect records as it operates across the monitored locations.
