The installation of Cyprus's first artificial intelligence (AI) traffic cameras is set to begin on Griva Digeni Avenue in Nicosia. These cameras are specifically designed to monitor drivers using mobile phones while driving, with the initiative aiming to improve road safety and reduce distracted driving. The two cameras will be positioned at locations previously occupied by older cameras that are currently out of service.
During the initial pilot phase, the Traffic Police have indicated that there will be no issuance of fines for violations detected by these AI cameras, as they aim to evaluate their effectiveness first. Instead, human officers will be responsible for the final review of any offenses recorded by the cameras. Although the primary focus of these devices will be mobile phone usage, reports suggest the cameras will not monitor other traffic violations, such as speeding or seatbelt usage.
