The Directorate has completed the first phase of its smart camera system as part of a broader plan to modernise Bahrain’s traffic system and make greater use of advanced technologies.

According to the Director General, performance indicators have shown a significant decline in traffic violations and accidents, reflecting the impact of road development projects and the integration of smart traffic systems.
