The installation of new cameras on the streets against the accidents will start in the first months of 2011, the Council of Ministers decided today.
According to Deputy Government Spokesman, Christos Christofides after the end of the meeting, the traffic light system will be developed fully in the next five years and this will cost €32 million.
Of the 304 cameras, 183 will be installed on traffic lights, 94 will be stable for speed control and 27 will be movable.
“The Council of Ministers’ decision is of special importance, primarily for social reasons”, Mr. Christofides said.
“The previous experience from the use of the system one year ago proved that it leads to a serious reduction of the road accidents”, Mr. Christofides said.
He also emphasized that no additional staff will be employed for the enforcement of the system except for four persons, who will be employed as technical staff.
“The system is adopted in almost all European countries with positive results in the reduction of deadly accidents”, he concluded.
