In a public notice released on Monday, the ZRP released the names of the drivers, the registration numbers and models of the cars they were driving when they allegedly committed the offence. According to the police, the motorists were captured on camera (in video and picture form) allegedly committing the crime.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police is requesting the registered owners and/or drivers of the undermentioned vehicles to report to the Officer-in-Charge ZRP Avondale Traffic as soon as possible to answer to charges of going through a red traffic light at the corner of Monavale Road and Kirkman Road in Belvedere in Harare on Tuesday 24 August 2021.
“Bring copies of your driver’s licence and the registration book of the vehicle in question. Photographs and video footage will be used as evidence,” read the public notice issued by the ZRP Press and Public Relations in conjunction with the Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (operations department).
Some traffic light controlled intersections in Harare now have cameras which record incidents including flouting of road rules and regulations. Of late, the number of motorists who brazenly shoot through red traffic lights has been rising alarmingly and in some instances resulting in accidents which have claimed lives or left people seriously injured.
