ISF: Radars Caught 67,074 Violations Till January 4

Traffic radars caught 67,074 violations from the time they were installed in November last year till January 4, 2010, said a communiqué released by the General-Directorate of the Internal Security Forces on Friday.

"Photos caught by the radars include all violating vehicles, including military and security" cars, the communiqué said.

The ISF has informed the Lebanese to abide by the 100 kilometer speed limit on major highways and 50 kilometers in cities. From mid-November offenders were able to check whether they had received a fine at the ISF website: www.isf.gov.lb.

The radars are part of a campaign to clamp down on road violations after a series of deadly accidents last year.
