The government has announced via the Road Transport Department (JPJ) Facebook page that effective September 1, it will be enforcing fully the legal provision for summonses issued by AES/AWAS without discounts or exceptions.
The automated enforcement system will be policing for two offences – failure to observe traffic signals (running the red light) and exceeding the posted speed limit. A traffic light offence carries the penalty of four demerit points for private passenger vehicles and motorcycles, and six demerit points for buses and goods delivery vehicles.
Penalties for speeding are meted out depending on the severity of the offence, also on different scales for private passenger vehicles and motorcycles, and for buses and goods delivery vehicles, the latter getting more demerit points per offence.
Offences for exceeding the posted speed limit by between one km/h to 25 km/h carry two points and four points respectively, while speeding offences of 25 km/h to 40 km/h above the posted limit will carry a penalty of three points and five points respectively. Finally, offences more than 40 km/h above the posted limit carry four points and six points respectively.
On the other hand, demerit points incentives are on offer. This entails participation in courses to be offered by JPJ, and following a one-year period without incurring further summonses and compounds, the department will reduce one’s demerit points tally by 50%.
The issuing of summonses will go through a three-step process. An offence will first be recorded by the automated camera, and the image transmitted to a control centre for processing. Secondly, a JPJ officer will check and verify the image. Once the offending vehicle’s registration number is clearly identified, a summons will be issued.
Thirdly, the summons will be sent to the offender by registered mail, and they will have 60 days to pay the RM300 fine or they will be required to be present in court. Failure to comply will see the offender blacklisted and incur further KEJARA demerit points.
Traffic light cameras will be preceded by warning sign located 50 metres to 100 metres before the camera. In cases where a vehicle runs the red light, the camera will take two images in a span of 0.5 second to capture vehicles in motion, the vehicle being photographed from the rear. The vehicles’ position on the road will be determined by piezo loops embedded in the road surface, just beyond the stop line.
For speeding offences, the camera will be preceded by sign warning road users of its presence, the first of which to be located two km to three km before the speed camera. According to the illustration above, piezo loop sensors will be embedded in the stretch of road that is within the camera’s field of capture, and the sensors will detect the speeds of the vehicles travelling upon them.
The posting adds that the JPJ is urging road users to obey road rules and to always practice safe driving to ensure the safety of all road users in an effort to reduce the rate of road incidents.

Running traffic light is so rampant nowadays.
Demerit points must be enforced effectively.
For commercial vehicle driver, especially bus drivers, for goodness sake get those with outstanding summonses off the road. Each bus company should register their driver and jpj should enforce demerit point to approve driver licence renewal and the bus company registry. We know JPJ have lot’s of data key into their computer database but scattered everywhere. it is time our JPJ and government have good analyst to extract much needed data from these large database. That’s our weakness – data retrieving and analysis.
good luck transport ministry.
Bikers running red light becoz emergency.
He…He….He… AES ada lagi. Cuba teka, siapa cakap AES akan dihapuskan semasa kempen PRU15?? Siapa tepat dapat hadiah ya!
Cekap…. kembalikan Beta Tegap Sdn Bhd & ATES oooii!
hoi pru14 la cerdik. fakta pun salah. ni jenis orang tak pikir panjang, setakat reti nak kritik je, acah2 nampak bagus. kau ingat nak lenyapkan kamera aes tu free of charge ke. kau ingat nak cabut semua kamera tu free ke. ada kos bang. nak pacak 1 tu pun berjuta habis. dah elok2 pacak situ, biar jela, tapi dengan enforcement yg lebih adil dan telus. semua duit masuk jpj/gov bang. yang dulu2 smpai 31 ogos tu masuk kroni bang, sbb tu kasi hapus. kau faham tak asas dia ni? orang tak marah sangat sebab aes, yang orang sangat marah kenapa duit saman tu masuk poket kroni. peace yo.
Dah tu kenapa buat janji kosong? Sebab Madey pun dah akui, dia buat janji tipu sebab sangkakan takkan menang PRU14. Islam ada definasi untuk orang macam ni.. Munafik!
No diskaun, terus kasi free

Tak tahu baca ka? Beza “existing” and “from September 1 onward” tak paham ka?
Will there be the same leeway given for AES? 10kph above speed limit before it triggers the camera
Or are we getting a ticket for doing 111kph on a 110kph road
nobody cares road hoggers driving 99km/h at fast lane..
Where to report errant JPJ officer ?
Dulu, you hentam the previous gov for implementing AES. Now you are the one enforcing it.
What a bunch of hypocrite!
Doesn’t matter GST or SST, goods & service prices would cheaper.
GST- harga turun
SST- harga naik

You are all screwed
low speeds does not equate to safe driving. some of the lane hoggers are even more dangerous.
furthermore, what is the government doing about the bike menaces who zig zag around the road and fail to stop at lights. you can say the demerit points apply to them but is there any proper enforcement?
you got a point to say, what to do with motorcyclist running red light… seems no answer to that menace yet.
Good luck Police Officers.
a bit curious.. For AES at highway, it gonna capture both lanes or only lane where the AES is installed?
both lane..i got caught from the opposite lane
what if my friend driving my car in highway and get caught by AES?
Then that’s not your friend anymore…
Time to find new ones.
reply to the summons and state the name of the driver and the ic number and inform jpj.
Especially those big trucks and buses, the travel buses traveling as fast as those crazy Myvi, by right, they should travel not more than 90kph in highway.
what is the international standard timing for traffic light from amber to red? anyone notice amber light only lit around 1 second then turn red faster compares to non AES traffic lights junction.
There should be some tolerance on over speeding because most speedometers are analog and there is no way a driver can maintain same speed all the time unless the car has autocruise option. Another issue is how accurate is car speedometer ? Every meter is bound to have some margin of error . As such, the margin of speeding should be higher by maybe 5 kmh. . On top of that, what is the accuracy of AES system ? Can the system differentiate buses , lorries and passenger cars ? If not, that means the top speed for nuses and lorries are same as passenger cars .
Its okay I suggest the AES should install to all trafic light. I was bad experienced about the trafic light. When no witness for an accident happened at traffic light and when both are claiming are green light then the police make easy decision..case consider close and no one to be issued summons easy right? That how thing going on in Malaysia now and when someone got internal contact the case more easier than. Oo sorry sir because no witness the police close this case by nobody broke the light and case close and no one get summon. I was experienced this and its happened
AES is good system to control the over speed which is harm to other road user. Its nothing wrong with the system as long it is give the true benefit to the peoples and the government. Unlike the past AES practiced where all the paid summons went to the AES company and past gov just acted as the collector..
The local authorities must first ensure all traffic lights are properly maintained with the same sequences. Eg many traffic lights SUDDENLY turn RED without the EMBER sequence. Likewise from Red to Green, many also do not go through
the Ember sequence.
install countdown timer for all traffic light can greatly reduce missing the yellow/red light.
I just checked summon via sms with car plate, 1 summon at rm 150 due to speeding at slim river last sat 1st Sep
But when I check again online via rilek and myeg website, no data pulak. I tot speeding is rm 300 without discount?
Hi, got any ways to request JPJ add AES or camera AWAS at certain road that I suggest?
