Istanbul authorities have approved the installation of Electronic Enforcement System (EDS) cameras at 128 locations across the city to strengthen speed and red-light monitoring, while also introducing stricter rules for e-scooter operators and revising several public transport routes.
The decision was adopted during the July meeting of the city’s Transportation Coordination Center (UKOME).
Under the plan, new EDS devices will monitor average vehicle speeds and red-light violations at key roads and tunnels. Among the locations set to receive average-speed enforcement systems are the Avrasya Tunnel, as well as the Halit Ulukurt Tunnel in Beykoz, the Libadiye-Çamlıca Tunnel and the Çamlıca Connection Tunnel in Üsküdar, with cameras installed at both entrances and exits.
