Reports indicate that an average of 284 cases of wrong-side driving are registered daily in the city. Social media has seen a rise in complaints about this issue, highlighting its role in fatal accidents. During the crackdown, Bengaluru police also booked offenders for other violations, including defective number plates, driving while using a cellphone, over speeding, and more.
The Bengaluru Traffic Police recently introduced an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) utilizing artificial intelligence to detect and document violations. This system identifies infractions such as speeding, signal jumping, helmetless riding, triple riding, and mobile phone use while driving. Additionally, drones are employed to detect and alleviate traffic congestion, ensuring smoother vehicle movement.
