Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda National Police has recently installed Red Light Cameras (RLC) to detect vehicles that violate traffic lights and symbols, adding up to the speed cameras set up early this year.<\/p>\n

So far, the cameras have been installed in two main roundabouts heading to the central town of Kigali: The junction between Rwandex, the road heading to Gikondo and the main road heading to town.<\/p>\n

Another one has been installed at the junction at Muhima, which is popularly known as Yamaha, according to information from the police\u2019s Road Safety Department.<\/p>\n

The roles of the new cameras include detecting any vehicle that violates the zebra crossing line, those who run the red light, and motorists who do not stick to their lanes.<\/p>\n

According to Senior Superintendent of Police Ren\u00e9 Irere, the Spokesperson of Traffic Police, the traffic cameras come to ensure all traffic lights and symbols are respected without negligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people often think that over speeding is the only violation in traffic rules, but these new cameras will penalize those who violate traffic symbols and traffic lights as they are driving in the roads,\u201d Irere told The New Times in an exclusive interview.<\/p>\n

During the installation of these cameras at Gikondo, a day which coincided with an awareness raising campaign on this issue, the spokesperson of Police, CP John Bosco Kabera also made the case for these cameras.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition to the speed cameras set to penalize speeding motorists, red light cameras were also installed to detect those who enter intersections in the wrong manner violating road lines or violate traffic lights,\u201d he said. To ensure the maximum road safety, Rwanda National Police has installed CCTV, speed and Red-Light Cameras (RLC) in different corners of the country.<\/p>\n

The newly installed Red Light Cameras run an automated system that detects and captures images of automobiles entering an intersection after the traffic signal controlling the intersection has turned red and those who walk in wrong lanes of the road.<\/p>\n
