Over 100 buses have been equipped with cameras featuring recognition devices to identify drivers who park in bus stops and bike lanes in Sacramento, California.
Drivers who park in prohibited areas, especially at bus stops and bike lanes in Sacramento, California, will be fined with the help of recognition cameras installed on public transportation.
More than 100 vehicles in the fleet have received the new artificial intelligence monitoring system, provided by Hyden IA, which records the violation, photographs the license plate, and sends it to Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT).
The project started on December 19, 2024, with a 60-day warning period. A total of 2,740 notices were issued to violating drivers.
The program is now undergoing a testing phase that began on April 14 and will last until June 12. Drivers parked in bike lanes will receive only a warning.
From the 13th, those parked in bus stops will receive the proper fines.
“This program will help improve safety and travel times for everyone on Sacramento’s streets,” said Henry Li, general manager of SacRT, who hopes the program will increase cyclists’ safety.
