KOTA BHARU: The Kelantan road transport department (JPJ) issued 40 summonses to vehicle owners for committing various traffic offences monitored using drones yesterday.
JPJ director, Misuari Abdullah, said the most common offences were overtaking on double lines, driving in the emergency lane, going against the flow of traffic, exceeding the speed limit, and beating red lights.
“Kelantan JPJ warns road users not to commit the offences as we now have ‘eyes in the air’ to spot any wrongdoings.”
Misuari said the drones will also be used in areas identified as black spots for accidents, including major state roads such as Kota Bharu-Kuala Krai-Gua Musang and Kota Bharu-Pasir Puteh-Jerteh.
He said they had issued 726 summonses for various traffic offences since a Chinese New Year operation began in the state yesterday.
