This is a warning to all drivers in Lagos that are always in a hurry to break the traffic rules, your days of reckoning are coming and it's coming very very fast.

A driver got a message from the Lagos VIS that he broke the traffic rules and as a first-time offender, he was billed for 30,000 naira. That sounds strange, many questions like how are they able to track him, how did they know he didn't wait for the traffic light, how come they were able to know and get his details, all these and more we shall dissect shortly.

This is the format of the SMS they sent across...

Your vehicle (plate number) committed a TRAFFIC OFFENCE with bill no xxxxxx. Visit VIS HQ Alausa within 7 days to avoid impoundment".

In 2017/2018, The Lagos State Government decided to go digital in the handling of its traffic management, they took a step by upgrading and their vehicle inspection facilities across the state, they went and understudy a system in the UK called the ANPR. The mechanism displayed is the Automatic Number Plate Recognition. An ANPR is a CCTV camera that can send a driver back to its village if such is not careful.

According to Wikipedia, an ANPR Machine can be used to store the images captured by the cameras as well as the text from the license plate, with some configurable to store a photograph of the driver.
The systems commonly use infrared lighting to allow the camera to take the picture at any time of day or night, with the ANPR technology taking into account plate numbering variations from place to place.

The machine put in place is called the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and it comes in the form of a CCTV. To the drivers, it's just an ordinary CCTV but to the government, it's a tracking device which helps to track and trail any defaulters.

Let's see how this ANPR works for public enlightenment. According to police.uk, An Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology is used to help detect, deter and disrupt criminality at a local, force, regional and national level, including tackling travelling criminals, Organised Crime Groups and terrorists. ANPR provides lines of enquiry and evidence in the investigation of crime and is used by law enforcement agencies. It may be safe to say that it works alone without supervision on a 24/7 working mode. That means that CCTV at Apapa, Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja may just be an ANPR just waiting for you to cross the line.

How It Works

Gone are those days when VIO officials will be running after your car, this time, you hand over your self to the government official.

[b]As a vehicle passes an ANPR camera, its registration number is read and instantly checked against database records of vehicles of interest. Police officers can intercept and stop a vehicle, check it for evidence and, where necessary, make arrests. A record for all vehicles passing by a camera is stored, including those for vehicles that are not known to be of interest at the time of the read that may in appropriate circumstances be accessed for investigative purposes. [/b]The use of ANPR in this way has proved to be important in the detection of many offences, including locating stolen vehicles, tackling uninsured vehicle use and solving cases of terrorism, major and organized crime. It also allows officers’ attention to be drawn to offending vehicles whilst allowing law-abiding drivers to go about their business unhindered.

We noticed that some of these ANPR cameras are already installed across some strategic spots in Lagos but the VIS/LASG are not telling us where they are, all they do is stand at a data collection point and see things from afar. But we have it on a good note there is one in Ikeja precisely close to Alausa Sect/Shoprite Mall, there is one too at Ikoyi and VI respectively.

How offenders are caught

When a driver breaks any traffic rule and the ANPR automatically capture your license plate, it sends it to the database where your information is. For example, if a driver of LASG-02 breaks the traffic code, the camera scans and picks the details with pictorial evidence, sends to the admin, the admin do a search on this plate number base on the information you use when registering or renewing any of your particulars, most times they are verified which makes it easier for them to easily append you. If a driver refuses to comply within the speculated time, you are liable to go to jail or have your car impounded.

These are some of the images if the ANPR cameras we got for you when they are undergoing training in Lagos late last year.

The world's system was designed by the devil to ensure that living a life of sin comes naturally and as long as we live in this world we are bound to face these circumstances that are designed to make us compromise our faith daily.

We therefore need to constantly seek God's face through the study of His word, prayer and fasting in order to overcome the pressures of this world.

Accept Jesus Christ, surrender to him, rededicate yourself to Him and make Him your personal Lord and Saviour. Accept Him now, for next minute may be too late..

lols Nah Africa Magic them go take am dey watch las las..

Hope the CCTV will catch police and lastman that disobey the law too

Rank your business to Google page one
see result below

Cant be enforced. I probably dont live in the address i used to register anymore

e no go work joor

AutoReportNG:
What do you think?

I predict some people might start using mud or marker to cover their plates :-)

Nice Development.
Proper Training and maintenance would see this expand across Lagos.

This lagos ehhhh.. if not for the high cost of renting an apartment & traffic . It's better for a man in his 30s to move there oh.

Makes sense

Chai if person borrow ur car go cause gbese for u, won't be funny o

Lagos will always find a way to remain ahead.

It's crazy when you receive that kind of message several hours after you thought you've gotten away with a traffic offence that "nobody" saw you committing.

AutoReportNG:
What do you think?

I think you're greedy. Everytime you'll be dragging FTC with your fellow NLers.

In fact, I think you deserve one dirty slap. reality check. Take am..

Der was a country

If they can't catch Danfo drivers, they are just wasting their time.

They go soon use am dey play candy crush and spoil it.

Welcomed development

Lagos no dey carry last I just hope it works well.

Nonsense. Always cart before horse.
This is the equivalent of a traffic officer asking for road worthiness from a fine car which is driving on a road full of pits.

That's the best. The way they do it in advance countries. No need to start collecting bribes. But I think this should be unmanned. It should be sited at each junctions. And the federal government should adopt this. People should be able to do things orderly without being told.

I think Lagos needs to rule Nigeria.... Seems like their governors think better. ...why can't FRSC adopt this..... Why can't we put this camera's on the road instead of putting police and soldiers everywhere like sey we Dey fight war

Nice development. What if it malfunctions and go haywire, you will just be receiving sms even when you didn't drive.



I wish they can install it in Rivers State, so that all these escort drivers carrying Indians/Koreans will pay heavily

Nice development.
We're marching on

Even at that, it's a matter of placing your plate number on a "wanted" list, and all divisions of LASTMA in Lagos would be on the lookout for your vehicle. Your only way out is to go park your car in your village (if you're lucky not to get caught on your way out).

Tina26:
Cant be enforced. I probably dont live in the address i used to register anymore

but you have a drivers license and your car is registered ? they will find you

AutoReportNG:
What do you think?

How do I work with you from Delta State?......I love your creativity and content.

I wish the Federal Government would carry their notepads and pens and receive some lessons from Lagos state government.

When you want to renew your documents nko. Am sure the autoreg system will have the bill waiting for you with accumulated interest payable before renewal.

Most of the traffic offences are during the evening


VIO closes by 4pm

Will it be catching police vehicles?

There is an orange tag vio issues its the tag that is read by a camera planted at strategic places.

Don't Jones your self beating traffic lights even at night around those places mentioned.
The cameras are hidden and will pic that tag if it violates any rules.
