In Dushanbe, the installation of new smart radars has begun, which will register 19 types of violations by drivers. These devices will transmit data on violations to a unified database.
More than 6,000 such radars are planned to be placed on the roads of the city and its surroundings. This was reported by the Asia-Plus agency, citing the Dushanbe Traffic Police Department.
It is reported that about 10 of these radars are already connected to the central equipment and are in testing mode.
According to the publication, this new equipment is being implemented as part of the “Smart City” project and has no relation to the “Safe City” project.
The public has reacted ambiguously to this news. Some users expressed concern on social media that the installation of new smart radars in Tajikistan is primarily aimed at penalizing ordinary drivers. Meanwhile, officials and their relatives, as usual, often violate traffic rules and, using their connections, can erase records of their violations and avoid responsibility for their actions.
It is reported that the “Smart City” project is one of the projects of the Dushanbe city administration. The authorities are also implementing a number of other projects. However, at the time of writing this article, the press service of the capital’s mayor’s office had not reported anything about the installation of radars on the streets of the capital.
