The Digital Governance Ministry will relaunch within days a tender for 1,000 traffic-enforcement cameras after the original competition was canceled following company appeals over technical specifications.
Minister Dimitris Papastergiou told Skai the new tender removes a €40 million option included in the initial contract. He said 19 companies had expressed interest and argued that restarting the process would resolve objections faster than court proceedings.
Meanwhile, a pilot program using eight AI cameras at six high-risk locations around Greater Athens has already recorded 2,453 violations.
The cameras monitor speeding, red-light violations, mobile-phone use, failure to wear seat belts, and illegal use of bus and emergency lanes. Papastergiou said a unified system should be installed within two months, allowing full operation this summer.
