A total of 30,266 speeding tickets were issued under the Safe Road Intelligence System (SRIS) during the first six months of the year, according to the midyear report released by the Ministry of Finance on Monday.
The SRIS currently oversees 112 lanes across Regions Three (Essequibo Islands-West Demerara) and Four (Demerara-Mahaica) and according to the report, an additional 48 lanes will come under its review by year-end. The expansion will target additional areas in Region Four as well as, for the first time, in Region Ten (Upper Demerara-Berbice).
The issuance of the 30,266 tickets, the report outlined, contributed to efforts to curb speeding and disincentivise reckless driving. Moreover, it noted that the tickets issued during the first half of the year contribute to a total of 62,450 issuances since the SRIS was launched in April 2025.
The SRIS is an automated traffic monitoring and e-ticketing network launched by the Guyana Police Force and the National Data Management Authority (NDMA).
It currently covers major roadways including the Heroes Highway, the Mandela to Eccles Interlink Road, some locations in Georgetown, and sections of the East Bank of Demerara, East Coast of Demerara, and West Bank of Demerara Public Roads. SRIS cameras are also operational on the Bharrat Jagdeo Demerara River Bridge.
Motorists can check for outstanding fines online using the Guyana Police Force Ticket Portal by entering a ticket number, TIN, or vehicle registration.
