The City of Harare has revealed that it will be installing surveillance cameras worth $2 million at all intersections in the central business district in an effort to reduce traffic offences. The City also said said that it expects to recover the initial $2 million within a year from traffic offenders. Harare chief engineer of works George Munyonga told The Herald,

This programme which we are undertaking of marking the road signs and beautifying the streets is a first step of the project that we are working on with City Parking. We are going to be installing monitoring and enforcement cameras at all intersections and along all routes so that any traffic violations, which are to the detriment of good traffic movement, will be dealt with… Controllers will just ticket offenders. On the installation process, we are around 70 percent and it will be monitored in a control room at the Harare Parkade so all roads within the central business district will be monitored.
