Riyadh: The King Fahad Causeway Authority (KFCA) has officially launched a 'live' broadcasting YouTube service to monitor the traffic on both sides of the strategic artery bonding Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, after an experimental phase.
Four hi-tech cameras have been installed to monitor the traffic on both sides of the causeway and broadcast the traffic movement live, focusing on the technical procedures section.
The new cyber service will be available on the official portal www.kfca.com.sa to allow passengers intending to cross the causeway to monitor the density of the traffic flow round the clock and tailor their travel plans accordingly, avoiding tailbacks and rush hour congestion.
The KFCA directorate of passports will also rely on the new service to control and monitor the traffic flow on the causeway and give instant instructions.
The directorate said that it plans to implement the same procedures at different land, sea and air entry and exit points as part of efforts to develop services and ensure passengers’ convenience.
