KUANTAN: Out of the 59 locations identified by the Road Transport Department (RTD) as suitable for Automatic Enforcement System (AES) cameras, seven are major towns in Pahang.
Pahang Housing and Transport Committee chairman Datuk Mohd Sofi Razak said the installation would be done in stages starting early next year.
"The selection of the locations was made based on traffic accident statistics obtained from RTD and the police," he said in reply to a question by Leong Ngah Ngah (DAP-Triang) at the state assembly.
However, he said the final decision on the selection of locations would be made based on need.
State RTD director Datuk Zakaria Man, when met outside the state assembly yesterday, said the locations were selected based on the number of accidents recorded there.
He said many fatal accidents were recorded in the Segamat-Kuantan Highway, so there was a need to install AES there.
