The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has disclosed its plans to unveil a mobile device to electronically track and issue tickets to traffic law violators in the state.
The Deputy General Manager of LASTMA, Comptroller Isaac Adetimiro, speaking at a forum organised to explain the device and its functionality in Lagos on Friday, said that the agency has concluded all arrangement to launch the device.
Adetimiro said that the device, Traffic Management Solutions (TMS), was meant to capture videos and pictures of traffic violations in real time as they occur, without threat of harm to the traffic officers.
He observed that this technology has become imperative to efficiently and effectively manage traffic without creating further traffic flow obstruction through interaction of LASTMA officers with violators on the road.
The LASTMA boss said with the device, LASTMA’s officers would no longer physically and verbally engage violators on the road, but only use it to take videos and picture evidence of the violation.
