This advanced surveillance system, utilizing smart cameras, ensures that traffic violations are detected and new 2025 penalties are applied immediately, urging everyone to maintain vigilance on the roads.
The Kingdom’s smart surveillance system was activated
The General Directorate of Traffic in Bahrain officially confirmed the widespread activation of its sophisticated real-time traffic monitoring system. This initiative saw smart cameras strategically deployed across the entire kingdom, diligently observing road conditions and driver behavior around the clock.
The primary goal is to enhance road safety and ensure compliance with traffic regulations, with any detected infractions leading to the immediate application of the updated 2025 penalties.

In their comprehensive announcement, authorities specifically drew attention to several key violations that are now under strict surveillance and will incur immediate penalties.
