Gov’t Extends Speed Camera Network in Region Three
December 2 2025
The Government of Guyana has rolled out additional automated speed cameras and radar speed signs across Region Three (Essequibo Islands–West Demerara), completing full regional coverage under the next phase of the Safe Road Intelligent System (SRIS).
According to a DPI report, the initiative, jointly managed by the National Data Management Authority (NDMA) and the Guyana Police Force (GPF), is intended to strengthen road-safety enforcement, curb reckless driving, and reduce accidents along one of the country’s busiest traffic corridors.
The expanded SRIS network builds on the automated speed-ticketing system launched earlier this year. New high-definition cameras and radar speed signs have been installed at strategic locations, including major intersections, high-traffic roadways, and areas with a history of frequent accidents.
The system uses a secure, cloud-based platform to detect speeding violations, automatically issue tickets, and notify motorists using contact information registered with the Guyana Revenue Authority. Drivers with digital contact details will receive alerts via SMS or email, while physical copies will be mailed to those without online access.
The report further stated that Government officials have underscored that the initiative is focused on safety rather than revenue. President Dr. Irfaan Ali reiterated his administration’s commitment to leveraging technology to improve traffic management, noting that the SRIS aims to make Guyana’s roadways “safer, smarter, and more secure” for all users.
Motorists in Region Three are advised to pay close attention to posted speed limits and newly installed radar signs, especially in densely populated or high-traffic areas.
Drivers can verify whether they have outstanding tickets by visiting the online portal at speed.gpf.gov.gy. Immediate payment is encouraged to avoid legal action.
Those who fail to settle fines face court proceedings. Non-response to a court summons for an unpaid ticket may result in a magistrate issuing an arrest warrant. Continued failure to comply after a warrant is issued can lead to additional penalties.
The expansion of the SRIS in Region Three represents another major step in the government’s broader move toward technology-driven law enforcement. By integrating automation with transparent processes, the initiative aims to reduce collisions, save lives, and promote greater responsibility on the nation’s roads.
