Gurugram, June 8 -- The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will begin stricter lane discipline enforcement on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway (DME) this week by upgrading automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras across its Haryana stretch, officials said on Saturday. Enforcement via these cameras will come into effect from next week. The enhanced ANPR-based traffic monitoring system will automatically issue camera-generated challans for abrupt lane violations along nearly 120 km of the expressway passing through Gurugram, Sohna and Nuh and connecting to Faridabad, officials said. Officials said the cameras' software is being upgraded with a new "offence code" to detect sudden lane jumps, a key contributor to high-speed crashes and rear-end collisions on the corridor. "These cameras are equipped with detecting speeding, wrong-side driving and parking-related violations. The latest upgrades will come fully into force within a week," said PK Kaushik, project director (PD) of NHAI's project implementation unit in Sohna. "The upgraded ANPR network will be integrated with the National Informatics Centre-managed transport databases, enabling real-time verification of vehicle registration. Signages, too, will be improved in the coming months at accident-prone spots," official added. NHAI has also instructed toll plaza staff to sensitise commuters about lane-wise speed limits on the DME. The revamp coincides with traffic police plans to penalise heavy- and large-commercial goods vehicles for lane violations. Deputy commissioner of police (traffic) Prateek Gehlot said he met 25 transporters on Thursday to sensitise drivers and unions, including via WhatsApp groups. "Strict action through challans will be taken against drivers tampering with high-security number plates or repeating lane violations," Gehlot said....
