The SAHER program is a technology-managed traffic safety system in Saudi Arabia that utilizes CCTV networks, information centers, and a central database. The information centers analyze traffic violations captured by CCTV and issue penalty tickets for speeding, pedestrian, and traffic signal violations. The goals of the SAHER program are to automatically implement traffic rules, increase driver and road safety, and help police monitor violations to save lives.
