RIYADH — The General Directorate of Traffic (Muroor) has confirmed that there is one day left to activate the automatic surveillance of 3 traffic violations.

The Muroor said that starting from Sunday, June 4, the automatic surveillance will start monitoring trucks and heavy equipment that do not adhere to the right lane on the multi-lane road.

The automatic surveillance will also include people who drive vehicles and do not use the necessary lights when driving at night, or during weather fluctuations that cause blurred vision.

Moreover, driving along the sidewalks or pedestrian paths of roads where driving is not allowed.

It is noteworthy that Lt. Gen. Muhammad Al Bassami, director general of Public Security, had announced earlier the automation of seven traffic violations electronically.

The automatic surveillance of violations also includes violations of traffic regulations on the road; driving vehicles with unclear or damaged number plates; bypassing the station measuring the weights and dimensions of transport vehicles, and parking the vehicle in places not designated for the same.

The General Traffic Department and the Special Forces for Road Security will carry out surveillance of these violations.

This comes with the aim of raising the level of traffic control and safety and cutting undesirable behavior along public roads inside and outside cities across the Kingdom.
