Over 800 speeding violations caught by red-light cameras; penalties to be raised for some offences

The Traffic Police will raise penalties for certain offences in the second half of the year as the number of speeding violations is "of concern". More than 800 new offences were captured in the first three weeks of April, since the speed enforcement function was activated in some red-light cameras. There are close to 250 red-light cameras across the island, but the authorities will not reveal how many have had their speed enforcement function activated, or their exact locations. The number of speeding-related fatal accidents in 2023 jumped by more than 80% from the previous year.
