A new road safety system has been launched in Karaganda. A smart pedestrian crossing has started operating near the entrance to Central Park on Voinov-Internatsionalistov Street.

The system is designed not only to detect pedestrians crossing the road on a red light but also to identify individuals registered with law enforcement authorities through Face ID technology.
According to the Karaganda Region Police Department, once a violation is detected, the information is instantly transmitted to a nearby police post. Police officers can then promptly take the necessary administrative measures and issue the relevant citation.
The system is currently operating in pilot mode.

The Police Department reminds residents and visitors that, under Article 615 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Kazakhstan, crossing the road against a red traffic signal is punishable by a fine of 8,650 tenge. A repeated violation within one year results in a significantly higher fine of 43,250 tenge.

Police urge residents and visitors to strictly observe traffic regulations, cross roads only at designated pedestrian crossings, and do so only when the traffic signal permits. Compliance with these rules helps protect the lives and safety of both pedestrians and other road users.
