2,550 motorists fined in five months Nashik News - Times of India

NASHIK: The city traffic branch has collected fine of Rs 5.10 lakh from 2,550 motorists in the past five months for violating the no-entry zone at the Indiranagar underpass on the Mumbai Agra highway. The traffic department had made mandatory for only Govind Nagar bound motorists to use the underpass while the Indiranagar bound motorists were told to take a detour to reach the place. But still many motorists didn't pay heed to the rules and were caught violating by the CCTV cameras put up inside the underpass. On January 26 this year, the city police installed an artificial intelligence (AI) system at the Indiranagar underpass to keep check on motorists violating the underpass norms. Senior police officials said that the new application installed at the underpass was not only helping streamline the vehicular traffic inside the structure but also helping in spotting the defaulters so that they can be fined.
