Authorities should privatise road surveillance


UNIVERSITI Putra Malaysia Road Safety Research Centre head Associate Prof Dr Law Teik Hua has called on the Government to introduce mobile Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras to catch errant motorists off guard for driving above the speed limit or beating a red light.

He was reported to have said: “The effect of Awas presently is somewhat limited, because motorists know first-hand where these AES cameras are located and will be more cautious when driving or riding past them. So instead of using the current fixed AES cameras, maybe we can also introduce mobile ones.”
