According to Herman Deru, with the ETLE camera, people can be more disciplined in driving. Because they feel supervised, so that it has an impact on reducing the number of violations and cases of road accidents. Where in South Sumatra currently 14 ETLE cameras have been installed, and in the future the South Sumatra Provincial Government plans to re-install ELTE cameras in 17 cities/districts in South Sumatra in synergy with the Regional Police and Polres at the Regency/City level.
