Amman AI Traffic Camera Network

The Greater Amman Municipality is building a 5,500-camera AI traffic network: 2,500 cameras went up in a first phase from early 2025 on tunnels, bridges and main corridors, with 3,000 more planned for late 2026. A two-week trial in March 2025 logged 65,000 violations without issuing fines; by June 2025 GAM reported violations down 65% from that baseline and accidents near camera sites down 45-80% — the operator's own figures, with no independent evaluation yet. In April 2026 enforcement widened to 20 fixed radars, red-light cameras and point-to-point average-speed checks covering speeding, red-light running, sudden lane changes and parking on crossings. GAM's traffic director says only about a quarter of the roughly 5,600 cameras now running issue violations at all — the majority feed traffic management and planning data.
