Instead of cops, now cameras will catch speed demons on Eastern Freeway

The Eastern Freeway, connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) to the Eastern Express Highway at Ghatkopar, has given a free hand to motorists for speeding, since it was opened in May 2013. In order to curb traffic violations, authorities have decided to install Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) CCTVs that will take photos of speeding vehicles.

The ANPR-installed CCTVs will capture licence plate of drivers flouting traffic rules on the Eastern Freeway. Representation pic
