What is Safe City?
Safe City is a component of a larger Smart City project aimed at digitalizing urban infrastructure, improving public safety and automating a number of government services. As part of the Safe City, video surveillance cameras and traffic violation recording systems have been installed throughout the country. They automatically record violations such as speeding, driving through a red light, and others.
Fines charged automatically are registered in the Unified Register of Offenses. The project was launched in pilot mode in Bishkek and Osh and is gradually expanding to other regions of the country.
After the transfer of Infocom functions to Kyzmat state institution, implementation of the project will be under the control of the presidential administration.
