Since the start of this year, functional bodies have detected, and imposed a total of more than 7 billion VND in administrative fines on over 5,000 traffic violation cases caught on camera systems across the city.

Some violations have been directly handled by traffic police who were on duty at or near the intersections thanks to images of these offences electronically sent from technical officers at the municipal Police Department’s Information Centre. As for others, penalty tickets enclosed with hard copies of images of the violations have been also sent to violators at home, requiring them to pay fines.
