AWAS

Sebanyak 35,618 kesalahan memandu melebihi had laju dirakam kamera Sistem Keselamatan Kesedaran Automatik (AWAS) sewaktu Ops Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Ops HRA) setakat Khamis minggu lalu.

Menurut Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan  (JPJ), sebanyak 4.7 juta kenderaan telah direkodkan melalui kamera AWAS di lebuh raya seluruh negara sepanjang Ops HRA diadakan sejak 29 April lalu.

Sementara itu, sebanyak 10,355 lagi telah dirakam kamera AWAS melanggar lampu isyarat merah daripada 1.5 juta kenderaan yang melalui.

Ini sekaligus menyaksikan pesalah jalan raya yang dirakam melebihi had laju dan melanggar lampu isyarat merah sepanjang tempoh Ops HRA 2022 akan dikenakan tindakan mahkamah dan tidak boleh dikompaun.

Pelaku yang didapati bersalah akan dikenakan denda sehingga RM2,000 mengikut Seksyen 79 Akta Pengangkutan Jalan 1987.

Pada masa sama, pelaku yang didapati melakukan kedua-dua kesalahan (lebih had laju dan langgar lampu merah) akan dikenakan empat mata demerit berjadual dibawah sistem KEJARA (Pemberian Mata Demerti Kesalahan Jalan Raya).

Kamera Sistem Keselamatan Kesedaran Automatik (AWAS) – yang sebelum ini dikenali sebagai AES – telah merakam lebih 5,000 kenderaan yang melanggar had laju di hari pertama Ops HRA pada Sabtu.

Menurut Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan Raya (JPJ) sebanyak 750,903 kenderaan telah melintasi kamera AWAS di lebuh raya pada Sabtu dan 5,021 telah dirakam melanggar had laju dibenarkan.

Sementara itu, daripada 236,671 yang melewati kamera AWAS di lampu isyarat, seramai 996 didapati melanggar lampu merah.

Ini sekaligus menjadikan kesalahan memandu melebihi had laju dan langgar lampu isyarat merah adalah kesalahan trafik tertinggi direkodkan setakat ini.

Berdasarkan pengumuman sebelum ini, pelaku yang melakukan kedua-dua kesalahan tersebut akan dikenakan tindakan mahkamah dan tidak boleh dikompaun.

“Sekiranya disabitkan kesalahan, boleh dikenakan denda sehingga RM2,000. Pengguna jalan raya dinasihatkan untuk mematuhi peraturan yang ditetapkan bagi menjamin keselamatan seterusnya menurunkan kadar kemalangan dan kematian di jalan raya,” jelas pihak JPJ dalam satu kenyataan. – HM

  • PLUS will add 11 more Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) cameras will be added along the North-South Highway.

  • The number adds to the 19 currently in place.

11 more Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) cameras will be added along the North-South Highway (PLUS).

The installation will take place in phases. According to the Deputy Minister of Transportation, Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar, the locations will be determined after studies by PLUS Malaysia Berhad and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research. Results from the research will be ready later this year.

The 11 new AWAS cameras will supplement the 19 currently in place. The sites chosen for the will consist of stretches that are accident prone and have caused many casualties.

Priority will be given to the Menora Tunnel near Ipoh, Perak. The hilly and winding stretch has seen many serious accidents and deaths over the decades.

There was an earlier talk about installing the system along the first Penang Bridge but there was no mention about it this time. The bridge has seen its share of fatal accidents including the recent one in which an SUV rolled over the barrier and crashed into the sea.

PLUS will undertake the costs of installation and maintenance, estimated at RM 3 million each.

Do note that AWAS cameras can detect motorcycles, too.
