In order to guarantee the exclusivity of the lane of the MIO mass transportation system, the installation of fine cameras in the articulated buses is progressing.
This was announced by the Secretary of Security of Cali, Jimmy Dranguet, who indicated that “we are making various efforts to install cameras on some MIO buses that will allow us to control the invasion of the exclusive lane, they are in process.”
The official explained that “we hope that in the next few days this system, which is already allowed by law, will come into operation and will generate conditions for mobility in the system aided by the agreement we have with the police, which is already yielding important results in reduction of criminal activities and behaviors contrary to coexistence throughout the mass transportation system”.
Installation
As reported by Dranguet, “some cameras are already installed and are in the test phases so that they can be put into operation and be able to impose the appropriate photo fines for this case.”
He described the system as “innovative and it will allow us to exercise control in the exclusive lane of the MIO to generate order in that space of the city.”
The Secretary of Security of Cali made a “call to the public to respect traffic regulations, respect the exclusive lane of MIO, the system that transports Cali and we must respect it.”
Health insurance
As will be recalled, after a month of initiating the security agreement between the police, Metrocali and Security and Justice in the MIO mass system, there are still complaints from bus users about public order situations within the transport, including to the people who invade the exclusive lane of the MIO.
As it became known, the Ministry of Transportation apparently gave the Secretariat the green light to promote a pilot plan for the installation of mobile photodetection cameras on public service buses.
According to the Cali authorities, around 200 vehicles are fined daily for traveling through this space and the majority are motorcycles, which do not usually respect the exclusivity of these roads.
Faculty
On the other hand, the Secretary of Mobility of Cali, William Vallejo, affirmed that the Ministry of Transportation “authorizes us so that we can use automatic and semi-automatic photodetection systems, to control these people who irrationally insist on using a lane for which is for the exclusive use of transport”.
The cameras would be installed in the front of the MIO to capture the license plates of motorcycles and cars invading these roads.
Vallejo indicated that “they are perfectly legal to use, because they will come out and say that they are illegal and a number of things, to try to blur a process.”
