Of these, the majority of violations were not wearing seat belts, with 1,813 cases (90.46%); using a phone while driving accounted for 28 cases (1.41%); and the remaining 743 cases were other violations.

Notably, there were 1,261 cases of violations by commercial transport drivers, accounting for 62.93% of the total of over 2,000 violations.

A representative from the Traffic Police Department stated that initially, after the cameras were installed, the number of violations was high. However, after widespread dissemination of information and awareness campaigns regarding the handling of traffic safety violations, the number of violations has gradually decreased.

In the coming period, the Traffic Police Department will coordinate with functional units and local police to install more than 5,000 additional cameras on expressways, national highways, and urban areas.
