The Directorate of Road Traffic Services (DRTS) of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), Dr Abdullateef Bello, has commenced e-ticketing enforcement for all traffic offences.
Dr Bello stated this after a sensitisation operation carried out on the new technology- driven road traffic enforcement.
He noted that while the service, as a law abiding entity, took the necessary steps and appealed the court judgement, which barred it from stopping and impounding offending vehicles on Abuja roads, it has resorted to using technological devices which has legal backing.
He added that the FCT Transportation Secretariat’s extant
laws allows DRTs to use devices in maintaining safety on the roads across the territory.
He said the service has acquired technological devices that will record traffic infraction and immediately or within few minutes issue electronic ticket to the offenders.
He further said the new system will automatically reduce physical interface between its enforcement officers and motorists , but very efficient at tracking and penalising road traffic offences.
