TRAFFIC surveillance cameras are being used citywide to catch drivers using mobile phones while driving from today, and violators will face a fine of 200 yuan (US$30.3) and two license demerits, Shanghai traffic police announced today.
About 70 high-definition surveillance cameras used to catch such offence are located at some expressways, Chenhai Highway and Huqingping Highway in the city, and the scope of application will be expanded gradually, according to police.
"In the past, the violation was mainly caught at the scene by traffic officers, and the use of surveillance cameras will significantly improve efficiency," said Xia Liang, a police officer.
"Other offences which threaten driving safety such as WeChat use, eating and failure of fastening seatbelts will be covered by the traffic surveillance cameras gradually in the future," he said.
Dialing and answering phones with bluetooth devices will not be punished, according to regulations.
