E Challan Visakhapatnam: Check Status & Pay Challan Online
Challans in Visakhapatnam
Traffic in Visakhapatnam gets busier during peak hours, especially on major roads and junctions such as NH16, MVP Colony, Gajuwaka, RTC Complex, and Dwaraka Nagar.
The rush hours can lead to traffic congestion, which may take longer than usual to reach your destination. Chances are this rush will lead to traffic violations such as overspeeding, jumping signals and reckless driving. These violations result in the issuance of traffic e-challans.
Traffic e-challans are electronic penalties issued to violators of traffic rules and regulations. The traffic violations are captured using installed CCTV cameras and automated sensors along the roads. Traffic police officers use electronic handheld devices to generate challans.
