Step forward for speed cameras

Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos on Tuesday inspected the site on a busy Nicosia junction where the first four speed cameras are to be installed, as part of a project that will go into operation in October.

Karousos was at the first site where the traffic cameras system will be installed in Nicosia at the crossing of Griva Digenis avenue and Dimosthenes Severis avenue.

According to his post on Twitter, he went to the site with the director of the department of electrical and mechanical Services, Markos Markou for an assessment of the installation.

Επιθεωρήσαμε με τον Δ/ντή του Τμ. ΗΥ, το 1ο σημείο όπου θα εγκατασταθεί το σύστημα φωτοεπισήμανσης στη Λευκωσία. Το σύστημα θα λειτουργήσει τον Οκτώβριο και οι πρώτες τέσσερις σταθερές κάμερες θα εγκατασταθούν στη διασταύρωση της λεωφ.Γρίβα Διγενή με τη λεωφ. Δημ.Σεβέρη. #MCW pic.twitter.com/nBqikaK4nv
