As of Saturday, January 1, motorists in Cyprus caught violating road rules by the newly introduced traffic camera system will have fines sent to their homes now that the grace period is over.
The network is live with four fixed speed cameras at a busy Nicosia junction and four more mobile cameras, police said.
The four cameras are at the busy Nicosia junction of Grivas Digheni and Demosthenis Severis Avenues.
