The Raposo Tavares highway, a vital route in São Paulo, is set to enhance road safety with the installation of artificial intelligence cameras designed to catch drivers using cellphones while driving or passengers failing to wear seatbelts. This initiative will particularly target the stretch between kilometers 17 and 18 in both directions of the highway. Currently, the concessionaire responsible, Ecovias Raposo, is calibrating the cameras, but no official date has been announced for the cameras to begin operational monitoring.

The same AI monitoring system will soon be deployed along the Anchieta-Imigrantes system, which connects São Paulo to the Baixada Santista. While specific details regarding the start date for these cameras remain unspecified, it reflects a growing trend in the state of São Paulo, where various roads are increasingly equipped with similar monitoring devices. For example, the northern section of the Rodoanel, inaugurated in December 2025, has been equipped with 32 of these cameras, including some installed within tunnels.

This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance driver and passenger safety on highways, which aligns with ongoing efforts by traffic authorities to reduce accidents and enforce laws related to distraction and seatbelt usage. With ongoing reports indicating a significant number of these monitoring devices being installed in the state, it signals a shift towards a more technology-driven approach to traffic enforcement in Brazil, aiming to foster safer driving behaviors among the public.
