As of Saturday, January 1, 2022, the new photo-tagging system was officially put into operation without any evidence of driver violations being recorded so far.
Speaking on the show Front Page, the Assistant Director of the Traffic Headquarters, Haris Evripidou, explained how it takes at least 5-10 days for the driver to receive the letter for any violation and to be informed. "There is a process. The complaint can not be made immediately because the details must be identified and then the owner. "By the end of the week we will have the number of the first violations recorded by the cameras," he said.
The information that the authorities have before them concerns warnings to drivers before the official start of the system. "As for the warnings, we had over 6,5 thousand complaints from mobile cameras and around 800 thousand from fixed cameras."
According to Mr. Euripides, another 20 mobile cameras are expected by the end of January, while in 2023 the system will complete the three phases with another 90 fixed cameras in various places.
