The National Institute of Transit and Land Transportation (Intrant) will install intelligent traffic lights this year to ensure that those who run a red light pay a fine. Diario Libre reports the Intrant is preparing the system that will send the violators notifications to their domiciles.
Intrant director Rafael Arias says the new lights will detect when a vehicle, including a motorcycle, passes in red. It will register the vehicle with a photo, highlighting the license plate area, which will allow identifying who it belongs to and the address, regardless of the time when the infraction is committed.
“If this offender does not pay the fine, he/she will not be able to renew their driver’s license, the vehicle permit to drive (marbete) or the insurance of the vehicle. The person will not obtain a certificate of No Delinquency or leave the country, warned the official when interviewed on “Fuera de Récord,“ produced by journalist Elvis Lima.
The Intrant has not given details of the tender being carried out for the new service. Years ago, the government of South Korea offered to resolve the traffic violations problems with the implementation of new software that had worked successfully in that country.
