NTSA Warns Motorists of Fake Speed Penalty SMS
NTSA warns of fake speed penalty SMS amid real-time monitoring launch
The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has warned motorists to disregard speed violation text messages sent from numbers other than its official SMS ID.
NTSA issues speed violation notifications solely through its official SMS ID and has asked recipients of suspicious messages not to respond and to report them promptly.
Real-Time Speed Monitoring
The warning accompanies the launch of real-time speed monitoring under the Msimu bila ajali, Usalama Barabarani campaign, which combines driver and passenger sensitisation with day and night safety checks on major transport corridors.
- Real-time monitoring allows authorities to detect speeding as it happens.
- Checks are also being carried out on speed limiters to verify that each device works and transmits data continuously to the Intelligent Road Safety Management System (IRSMS).
