Video cameras will also be installed at the exist of Stăuceni commune, on Șoseaua Muncești St and at the exit of Chisinau towards Băcioi St.

Director of the Ministry of the Interior’s Information Technology Service Andrian Șova has told IPN that the places where last-generation cameras will be placed were chosen in coordination with the National Patrolling Inspectorate and these witness a larger number of traffic accidents. The cameras will record violations during the day and at night, such as disregard for road markings and ignoring of stoplights. On Șoseaua Muncești St, there are two video surveillance points so that the average speed on a segment of several kilometers could be measured.
