The Guyana Government has announced the activation of additional automated speed cameras and radar speed signs across Region 3, now bringing the entire Region under coverage as part of the of the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS).
The SRIS project is jointly managed by the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
In a release today, the Government said the expansion aims to strengthen road-safety enforcement, curb reckless driving, and reduce accidents along one of the country’s busiest traffic corridors.
“Building on the launch of the automated speed-ticketing system earlier this year, the SRIS expansion introduces more radar speed signs and high-definition cameras at strategic points across Region 3, including major intersections, high-traffic routes, and accident-prone areas. Using a secure, cloud-based platform, the system automatically detects speeding violations, issues tickets, and notifies drivers through the contact details registered with the Guyana Revenue Authority. Registered motorists will receive notifications via SMS or email, while physical tickets will be mailed to those without digital contact information,” the government explained in its release.
The Government emphasized that is not a revenue generating one but one aimed at creating safer roads and promoting behavioral change among drivers.
“This system is designed to make our roads safer, smarter, and more secure for all Guyanese,” the release quoted President Ali as saying.
Motorists in Region 3 are urged to observe posted speed limits, pay attention to newly installed radar signs, and drive with increased caution, particularly in densely populated or high-traffic zones. Motorists are also encouraged to continue to check for outstanding fines being imposed for violating the speed limit.
The Government said offenders who fail to settle their fines promptly will face legal proceedings and if a motorist does not respond to a Court summons issued in relation to an unpaid ticket, a Magistrate may issue an arrest warrant for failure to appear.
