The City of Cape Town said some of its traffic service vehicles have been fitted with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology to help it identify cloned or duplicate licence plates, which are a growing concern.

The technology allows the traffic service to scan the licence plates of vehicles around them while in transit.

“It also helps with identifying cloned or duplicate licence plates, which are a growing concern, outstanding summonses and outstanding warrants,” MMC for safety and security JP Smith said in a statement. Smith said many motorists have had the unfortunate experience of an administrative nightmare, because someone else was using the same licence plate and racking up fines or committing crime.
