Abstract : Managing road traffic offence information isn’t about paperwork. It’s key for catching offenders, enforcing penalties, organizing evidence, and making decisions about road safety. This project examined current practices and identified gaps: no offender photos, scattered records, limited access to information, and a lack of a structured way to present offences and penalties as evidence. To fix these issues, the researcher built a system. It uses a layered structure: a user interface, a PHP backend, and a MySQL database, running on Apache/WAMP. The database holds personal details, vehicle info, offences, enforcement officials, dates, and images. The system includes secure login, offender registration, searching, past-record checks, user settings, and reporting. They ran unit and system tests, tried out test data, and did a small beta run. These tests showed the basics work: logging in, searching for offenders, viewing past cases, and adding new ones. So, this prototype proves you can centralize road traffic offence management. Still, the system hasn’t been tested at real-world scale, and questions around security, ease of use, or its impact on reducing crashes are unanswered. Before rolling this out officially or using it as evidence, it needs solid testing in the field.
