Tashkent authorities have finally begun implementing modern technologies to improve road safety. The city is currently piloting a new video surveillance system designed to tackle drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
According to the Traffic Safety Department (SBDD), the first system has been installed in Chilanzar district on the Small Ring Road near the Shukhrat intersection. At present, the system is undergoing test operations. If the pilot is successful, similar systems will be deployed throughout the city.
The new system is equipped with advanced cameras and sensors that monitor traffic and pedestrian movements in real time. It automatically detects violations related to failure to yield to pedestrians and transmits the data to the information processing center.
The initiative aims to increase driver discipline. Knowing that every violation will be recorded should encourage drivers to behave more attentively at crosswalks and follow the rules. Automated violation detection and inevitable fines will also help reduce pedestrian-related incidents, positively impacting overall road safety.
Additionally, the system plays a role in fostering a driving culture. It not only penalizes offenders but also promotes responsible behavior towards pedestrians, encouraging drivers to develop a habit of following traffic rules.
After the pilot phase in Chilanzar, the cameras will be installed at the most congested and problematic intersections across Tashkent. This initiative aims to enhance traffic safety and create comfortable conditions for all road users.
Residents of the capital hope that the new approach will reduce the number of violations and make pedestrian crossings genuinely safer.
