Kazakhstan Unifies Traffic Camera Inspections After Calibration Fails

Kazakhstan has implemented a unified annual inspection plan for all traffic violation cameras. This step seeks to guarantee timely identification of system malfunctions and uphold camera precision.

Previously, inspection intervals differed, sparking concerns about camera dependability. The new system enforces uniform criteria for camera inspections. All certificates for traffic violation cameras persist until expiry.

A recent audit uncovered that a firm accountable for calibrating traffic violation systems in Astana fell short of standards. The audit discovered that the lab lacked essential equipment, suitable environmental conditions, and records of initial observations. Nevertheless, there's no publicly accessible, conclusive evidence of a particular company in Astana that solely manages traffic violation camera calibration and has flunked an official inspection.

Kazakhstan's new inspection schedule ensures that all traffic violation cameras are scrutinized once a year. Although a recent audit in Astana exposed lab deficiencies, the specific company involved remains ambiguous. Authorities are encouraged to preserve transparency and ensure all cameras comply with uniform standards.
