Officials from the Ghaziabad traffic police said on Wednesday that they have started receiving data from the systems installed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on the Delhi Meerut Expressway (DME) and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway for detecting traffic violations and have started issuing e-challans to those violating traffic rules on the expressways.
The systems have paved the way for real-time tracking of traffic violations on the two expressways.
Traffic officials said of the daily traffic violations detected during the trail run of the systems, about 90% were related to overspeeding with erring vehicles clocking a speed up to 130-140kmph and sometimes even more on both the expressways.
