Installed on a trial basis, the LED display board is integrated with the traffic police's e-challan system and automatic number plate recognition technology. Officials said it reads vehicle registration numbers and displays pending challans and fine amounts. Vehicles with no pending fines display a "No Challan" message.

"The aim is to improve compliance of traffic rules by encouraging motorists and making them immediately aware of violations and pending challans against their vehicles... Such boards will make them aware, we hope," he said.
"If the trial is successful and more CSR funds are received, we will expand the project," Yadav said, adding similar display boards may be installed citywide. Officials said the boards are visible from 150 to 200 metres.
