As part of the initiative, traffic signals across the city will be linked to the ITMS control room, allowing them to switch between red and green based on real-time traffic volume.

Municipal Commissioner Vikramaditya Singh Malik said that state-of-the-art cameras are being installed at 17 city entry and exit points and 41 intersections. These include cameras with automatic number plate recognition, facial recognition, speed detection, and red-light violation tracking. Alongside, 134 cameras will provide general surveillance, supported by high-zoom units.
