Traffic police in Thailand’s capital Bangkok are to operate from next year an online e-traffic ticket system in a bid to control traffic congestion and road accidents in the city.

After a four-year pilot, the new US$6.12 million (THB 190 million) e-traffic ticket system is being funded by Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), deputy chief of Bangkok's traffic police Pol Maj Gen Adul Narongsak has revealed.

The police will partner with Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) and the Land Transport Department to introduce separate stops for taxis, public buses and vans. They also plan to install another 200 cameras at intersections and road bridges in Bangkok to curb traffic-light offences and illegal lane changing. Currently, Bangkok only has 10 red-light cameras fitted at intersections.
