KUWAIT CITY, Oct 17: The General Traffic Department issued 578 tickets for wrong overtaking on Thursday through surveillance cameras and traffic intersections.
A security source stated that vehicles involved in these violations cannot have their fines cleared, and hence their vehicles will be impounded for up to two months. Notifications will appear on the Sahel app within hours of violations, and some violators have already been alerted.
The source highlighted the significant role of overhead surveillance cameras at intersections, complemented by patrol units and modern cameras installed near intersections, in monitoring such traffic violations.
Citizens and expats were urged to adhere strictly to traffic regulations to avoid penalties, with authorities stressing that they will continue to take firm action against offenders.
