Traffic cameras focus on seat belts
Print Edition
BUCKLE up, drivers. You are being watched.
Seventy traffic police cameras around the city have been modified so that they can identify and photograph motorists who are not wearing their seat belts.
In the past three months, 696 drivers have been fined based on photographs taken by high-resolution surveillance cameras situated on elevated roads and highways, police said yesterday.
The city plans to introduce more of the cameras, which take pictures that have “three times the clarity of average ones” and perform well at night, in the future, said Ding Bin, media relations director of Shanghai Traffic Police.
The cameras are able to take dozens of high-definition photos of a subject’s facial features 100 meters away within a single second.
Photos are analyzed by the server, which “singles out” those in which drivers are not wearing seat belts for manual confirmation before fines are issued.
Drivers not wearing seat belts are fined 50 yuan (US$8) and those caught on elevated roads and highways also get two demerits.
