Measures needed on limiting use of synthetic materials to reduce our growing waste problem
PETALING JAYA: A new, upgraded Automated Awareness Safety System speed camera is set to replace existing models on highways, sparking debate among road safety experts.
As such, Law said visibility of the cameras is crucial as it has a direct influence on a driver’s behaviour on the road. Road Safety Experts Association and Safety Driving Centre adviser Datuk Suret Singh said it is common for motorists to slow down after being alerted by satellite navigation applications on their smartphones of approaching speed cameras.
He added that while Awas could improve enforcement, road users should also be aware of the purpose of speed cameras and the importance of observing road safety which could lead to achieving better compliance with the rules. On Thursday, Road Transport Department director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said upgraded Awas cameras would replace existing ones in phases at gazetted locations to step up enforcement on speeding and beating traffic lights.
