The municipality wants to reintroduce the automatic number plate recognition system to recover millions of rand owed for traffic violations.The plans are contained in a confidential report about Safe City, the company that manages the city’s surveillance cameras.There is a dedicated operational desk that has been made available solely for the purpose to detect by-law infringements such as littering, as well as to monitor traffic flow during peak hours.
The Safe City report said the reintroduction of the ANPR system would help the city generate much needed revenue. “Number plate recognition can be used to trace stolen vehicles, collect outstanding fines, debt collection etc. DA councillor Sibongiseni Majola said bringing back the number plate recognition system was a fantastic idea and could help the traffic unit to generate much needed revenue.“Safe cities can read number plates, but if there is no response from the municipality law enforcement side to pursue and stop the cars that are owing), the whole exercise will become a useless exercise,” Majola said.
