HARARE — Harare City Council is proposing to halve its prescribed traffic enforcement penalty from US$20 to US$10 under its 2027 budget tariffs.
The municipality also wants to reduce the associated administration charge from US$10 to US$5.
The proposed reductions are contained in the council’s traffic enforcement tariff schedule, which also provides for changes to wheel-clamping charges.
Motorists driving light vehicles in Harare’s central business district will continue paying US$20 for wheel clamping.
However, the proposed clamping charge for commuter omnibuses carrying more than 18 passengers will decrease from US$25 to US$20.
Conventional buses and lorries will see their clamping charges reduced from US$30 to US$20, while articulated heavy lorries will also pay US$20, down from US$30.
Tow-away charges for light vehicles will remain at US$20, while storage fees for light motor vehicles will remain at US$10.
The council’s schedule also maintains an additional US$0.50 per kilometre charge for towing outside the central business district.
The proposed reductions come alongside increases in other municipal fees and penalties, including charges for illegal dumping.
The tariffs are scheduled to take effect on January 1, 2027, if approved.
