Residents of Guwahati will no longer see traffic men manning traffic signal points at intersections in Guwahati beginning August 15, 2022. The Assam police have made the decision to gradually remove all traffic officers from intersection signal points beginning August 15, 2022.
The Paltan Bazar to Khanapara section of GS Road will initially have the traffic officers manning the signal points removed and replaced with modern CCTV cameras and digital traffic lights. Traffic at the intersections will be controlled by digital lights, and CCTV cameras will record any violations of the law by drivers.
Violators will immediately receive a fine via an E-Challan. There are currently 21 such digital traffic systems installed along the GS Road, and they will start operating on August 15, 2022. After this new project is successfully implemented, similar digital traffic systems will be installed all over the city within three months, leaving none of the city’s traffic signal points manned.
