Sana'a: The Traffic Police launched on Sunday the automation of the impoundment system for violating vehicles and motorcycles in the capital Sana'a, as part of the digital transformation project in traffic services.
According to Yemen News Agency, the launch of the new system took place in the presence of Deputy Director of the Traffic Police, Brigadier General Abdullah Al-Aqer, Assistant Directors Brigadier General Ali Al-Washli and Colonel Abdullah Tayyib, and Director of the Capital Secretariat Traffic Department, Brigadier General Najeeb Al-Asadi. The initiative aligns with the Government of Change and Construction and the Ministry of Interior's plan to modernize and develop security and traffic operations, transitioning from paper-based transactions to electronic services to facilitate public access and save time and effort.
The automation of the impoundment system is part of a series of digital transformation projects introduced by the Traffic Police, following earlier services such as the traffic website and mobile application, which allow citizens to inquire about, pay traffic fines, and complete procedures electronically without visiting traffic offices.
The system aims to regulate the entry and release of vehicles and motorcycles from impound facilities accurately and transparently, based on the duration of penalties and types of violations. It also enables the electronic documentation of all related data.
According to the Traffic Police, the system's advantages include electronic integration between impound centers and traffic branches to facilitate case follow-up from any location, the automatic issuance of reports on the number of impounded and released vehicles, identification of the most frequent violations, and instant SMS notifications to citizens upon vehicle impoundment or release.
The system also analyzes repeated violators' data to take appropriate legal actions, enhancing transparency in impoundment and release procedures and strengthening public trust in traffic services.
The Traffic Police noted that launching the system in the Capital Secretariat marks the first phase, to be followed by expansion to other governorates' traffic branches as part of a comprehensive plan to upgrade technical infrastructure and complete the electronic services system.
