Following the foot steps of Bangalore, now Mangalore is planning to install cameras to monitor traffic.

Mangalorean.com quotes Mr. N Sateesh Kumar on the plans.

The Red Light Enforcement System is expected to work on "auto-pilot mode". "The moment a vehicle crosses the line when the red light is on, a sensor will take note of the violation and immediately trigger the camera. Police officers at the control room will be automatically notified and they will in turn prepare a traffic ticket and despatch it to the Regional Transport Authority. The RTA will forward it to the postal address of the violator," Mr. Kumar said.

This will be an interesting development to see that Tier-II cities are also getting the required attention to improve road conditions.
