The Uganda Ministry of Works and Transport is reintroducing the Electronic Penalty System (EPS) to reduce high road fatalities. The system, previously suspended over fines and public concerns, will start in pilot zones on high-risk highways, monitoring speed, traffic-light compliance, and lane discipline. Officials will review penalties, conduct nationwide sensitization, and combine digital enforcement with road safety upgrades. The phased rollout aims to improve compliance, deter dangerous driving, and enhance public safety.
