As part of the agreement, in 2026, 400 photo and video recording cameras are planned to be installed on the roads of the region, in 2027 and 2028 - 300 cameras each. Thus, the remaining amount of work and modernization of existing equipment will be completed until 2030.

Deputy Governor - Minister of Transport of the region Alena Belikova stressed that the implementation of the project is aimed at creating a single digital basis for road safety management. The introduction of an automated system will ensure the transparency and legality of fixing violations, which will have a direct impact on reducing accidents and preserving the lives of road users.

Deputy Minister of Transport Christopher Ermashov noted that the practice of using photo and video recording complexes demonstrates a stable connection between the presence of cameras and a decrease in the number of offenses and accidents.

During the development of the system, special attention will be paid to the targeted plan for the placement of new complexes - installation in places with the maximum preventive effect. According to Ermashov, the cameras perform not only the function of collecting fines, but also act as a prevention tool that contributes to the formation of responsible behavior among drivers.^[1][2]
