Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province (Ash Sharqiyah) has installed a Saher automated traffic camera system in a bid to cut accident rates in the region.

The cameras will monitor vehicle speeds and traffic intersections and automatically pinpoint dangerous motorists on the road.

The routes where the system is installed include Dhahran Boulevard, the Corniche Road, King Abdul Aziz Street, Makkah Street and Alkhobar Street, according to arabnews.com.

The highways that will be governed by speed cameras are the Dammam-Alkhobar Highway, where speed limits are 100-110km/h, the Jubail Highway (100km/h), and the Aziziyah Highway (100km/h).
