More AES cameras necessary to nab speedsters


KUALA LUMPUR: The installation of another 1,200 Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras at highways nationwide should not be viewed as punitive but as a measure to educate motorists to obey traffic rules, said Malaysian Institute of Road Safety (Miros) Chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.

He said research conducted by Miros in 2014 showed that the 14 AES cameras currently installed in Perak, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya have proven to be effective in reducing road fatalities due to speeding and running a red light.
