The new A3 traffic camera system will begin issuing penalties after a month-long testing process.
The new traffic cameras will only issue warning tickets during February, the Ministry of Public Security decided today. 12 cameras will initially become operational on Sunday.
The tickets will be accompanied by a personal letter to the offender by the head of the Israel Police Traffic Division, Brig.-Gen. Bruno Stein. "I found it proper to personally ask you to obey the traffic laws, without writing a ticket against you for the present offense. It is better to lose a moment in your life than to lose your life in a moment!" the letter will state.
The letter will also detail the offense and will include the photograph documenting it.
