Traffic department to intensify drive against “yellow box” violators

Doha: Traffic department is planning to intensify action against people who are stopping at the yellow box at the signals.

The department has installed mobile cameras with latest technology, which can spot these violations. 

“Nowadays we are focusing more on ‘stopping in the yellow box’ violations. It has become very common these days and we want to put an end to these violations,” Brig Mohamed Saad Al Kharji, Director-General of the Traffic Department said. 

“The new radar meets world standards and specifications. We have installed about 100 radars to catch this type of violation,” Al Kharji said.

The new radar is easy to use and available in different sizes and capable of recording violations immediately to the server through 4G technology.

The latest speed cameras will not only catch speeding drivers but also those overtaking from right side, drivers without seat belts and those using mobile phone while driving.  

In a message on their twitter handle MOI had invited residents to suggest roads that they think should be monitored by mobile radars.
