The General Traffic Department, led by Lieutenant Colonel Abdullah Bu Hassan, is hosting a groundbreaking traffic awareness exhibition at Grand Avenues. This initiative aims to clear traffic violations and allow violators to have their impounded vehicles released on the spot upon payment of fines and fees. This program marks a significant step forward ahead of the new traffic law amendments scheduled for implementation on April 22, 2025.

Lieutenant Colonel Bu Hassan emphasized that this exhibition is part of a broader effort to educate the public about traffic violations and promote compliance. The recent exhibition at Al-Khiran Mall saw the clearing of around 5,700 violations, leading to the immediate release of approximately 75 vehicles.

The exhibition focused on helping violators settle their fines and regain possession of their impounded vehicles without the usual long delays. It highlights the Traffic Awareness Department's commitment to improving the process and easing the burden on motorists.

Lieutenant Colonel Bu Hassan also introduced new surveillance cameras that are strategically installed along highways with high rates of speeding and accidents. These innovative cameras are battery-powered, enabling them to operate in remote and unlit areas without relying on an external power source. Their portability makes them ideal for rapid deployment on different road sections.

Portable and Efficient Surveillance System

These cameras are expected to enhance the monitoring of traffic and improve safety across highways. Their ease of relocation ensures effective coverage of high-risk areas, contributing to more efficient traffic enforcement and accident prevention.

In addition to traffic enforcement, significant progress has been made in addressing violations of residency and labor laws. Under the directive of Acting Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah, the General Department of Residency Affairs Investigations launched a series of extensive security campaigns across multiple governorates between April 6 and April 8. As a result, 419 violators were arrested, further strengthening public safety efforts in Kuwait.

During these security campaigns, law enforcement focused on detaining individuals in violation of residency and labor laws. This proactive approach underlines Kuwait's ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with immigration regulations and maintain public order.

The new initiatives, including the traffic awareness exhibition and advanced surveillance systems, demonstrate Kuwait's commitment to improving road safety and enforcing laws to protect public welfare. As the new traffic law amendments approach, these efforts will likely play a pivotal role in enhancing traffic safety and reducing violations.
