The Road Transport Department (JPJ) plans to install another 831 Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras in stages throughout the next 18 months.

JPJ deputy director Ismail Ahmad said the JPJ had installed 14 AES cameras at various hotspots or accident prone areas in the klang valley and Perak since Sept 23.

"The hotspots were identified based on the high number of accidents or traffic offences at the areas after a study carried out by the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), JPJ, Public Works Department and police," he told reporters after closing a 'Satu Komuniti Satu JPJ' programme at Pekan, Pahang today.

He added that the AES would be installed at 52 locations identified.
