Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority, Abraham Amaliba has revealed authorities plan to deploy tripod-mounted speed monitoring equipment across police regions as part of efforts to improve road safety.
Speaking on The Law on JoyNews, Amaliba said the devices will be distributed to regional police commands to support monitoring of speeding and other traffic violations.
“The tripods, we are going to ensure that we give every police region some numbers of tripods, for now we are told that each will get two but more are coming,” he said.
According to him, the equipment will primarily be deployed in areas identified as accident-prone.
“Now where we are going to use the tripods are areas we call blackspots where accidents frequently happens,” Amaliba explained.
He added that traffic conditions vary across locations and times of the day, which is why the monitoring equipment may be moved between different sites.
“Traffic moves during some parts of the day; it’s not just at one place,” he said.
The NRSA says the deployment of tripod-mounted monitoring equipment forms part of broader measures aimed at improving road safety and supporting enforcement of traffic regulations.
