"What we have provided is the platform, equipment, and technology to the police for them to ensure that there is no traffic violations and now we wait for the update from the police to say when will they take the advantage of the system," he said.
Meanwhile, Engineer Chigariro said this site is the first of many traffic cameras to be installed in the CBD.
