The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has officially launched the Instant Fines Traffic Management System, an automated platform that instantly sends traffic violation notices directly to motorists via SMS, eliminating roadside cash negotiations with police officers and introducing strict digital enforcement measures. Under the new system, whenever a traffic offence is recorded—whether by speed cameras, red-light cameras, mobile enforcement teams or other approved monitoring tools—the registered vehicle owner receives an SMS notice within minutes containing the following details: offence type, date, time, location, fine amount, infraction code and a unique reference number.
