The division on Sunday released figures on traffic violations detected and handled through the city’s AI camera system last month.
Of the 18,512 violations detected, 16,510 involved motorcycles, while the remaining 2,002 involved cars.
The most common offenses included failing to obey traffic lights, illegal stopping and parking, driving in the wrong lane, entering prohibited roads, travelling against the direction of traffic, using mobile phones while driving, riding without helmets and failing to wear seat belts.
Notably, a review of violation records for 2026 revealed several motorbikes with repeated offenses.
One vehicle was recorded violating traffic regulations 43 times, while another accumulated 39 violations.
A third vehicle was recorded committing 33 violations.
In September alone, one vehicle was caught violating traffic regulations nine times, including eight instances of driving against the direction of traffic and one case of riding without a helmet.
Under current regulations, driving onto a road marked with a no-entry sign prohibiting travel against the direction of traffic carries a fine of VND4 million to VND6 million (US$154.6-232) and the deduction of two points from the driver's licence.
Motorcyclists caught riding without a helmet face fines ranging from VND400,000 ($15.5) to VND600,000 ($23.2)
Traffic police stressed that the AI camera system operates round the clock, urging drivers to improve their awareness of traffic safety and strictly comply with road traffic regulations to help prevent violations and ensure safer roads across the capital.
