Vehicle speeding is one of the risk factors in road safety and contributes to accidents which lead to deaths and injuries resulting in not only loss of lives but also affecting the economy. This study reports the research conducted with the purpose of monitoring and analyzing the drivers speeding behavior at the black spots. The data were collected using smart cameras installed at Ubena-Zomozi along Highway of T001 in the Coast and Morogoro regions. The collected vehicle data were analyzed using intelligent cameras, ANPR and OCR. The results of monitoring indicated that about 89.17% of car had recommended speed and obeyed the rule; 10.34% had an average tolerable speed while 0.48% were highly over speeding in someplace. It was concluded that many other black spots need to be smartly controlled using installed intelligent camera rather than using gun camera held by police.
