Goiânia's traffic engineering secretariat (SET) restarted electronic enforcement at the end of March 2025, after nine months in which no radar in the capital was working, under a five-year contract worth R$242.8 million split into three lots. The first lot put 20 radars and 12 pan-tilt-zoom cameras on the street, rising to 65 radars and 24 cameras by the end of April 2025; the full contract foresees 280 fixed radars, four mobile ones and 100 cameras. From a new Centro de Controle Operacional, cameras issue automatic notices for mobile-phone use at the wheel, red-light running and seat-belt offences, and the images are passed in real time to four police forces — Federal, Civil and Military Police and the Guarda Civil Metropolitana — to look for stolen vehicles and people with outstanding warrants. Fine processing runs on Serpro's national violations system, and a third contract amendment in June 2026 raised that side of the arrangement to R$9.76 million.

The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
SET logged 4,746 traffic infractions in the first seven days of operation: 1,656 for speeding, 954 lane violations, 673 for mobile-phone use, 662 for running a red light, 578 for illegal parking and 223 for parking on pavements. SET also says the processing cost per infraction fell from about R$17 to about R$9 after fine management moved onto Serpro's system, projecting close to R$50 million saved over five years.
🎓 Lesson
No privacy policy for the new cameras has been published, although the images are shared in real time with four police forces and used for stolen-vehicle and warrant checks; a data-protection lawyer interviewed a week after launch argued that fighting crime does not suspend privacy obligations. The city describes the combined radar-and-camera control centre as the first of its kind in Brazil — a claim no independent source verifies, and one this entry does not adopt.
