The cameras will begin operating on 16 October, bringing the total number of monitored locations across the Croatian capital to 219, an increase of more than 20%. The city says the expansion is intended to improve road safety, reduce congestion and ensure smoother movement for public transport and other road users.
The new cameras will cover a range of busy intersections, residential neighbourhoods and major roads. Locations include Savska–Prisavlje, Draškovićeva–Boškovićeva, Varšavska–Gundulićeva, Ilica–Gundulićeva and Vlaška–Šoštarića, as well as areas in Malešnica, Špansko, Dubrava and Jelkovečka. Other monitored spots include Gračanska cesta near the cable car, Radnička cesta and Zagrebačka cesta.
The city selected the locations after analysing traffic conditions, reviewing residents’ complaints and identifying areas where violations repeatedly required on-site intervention. The system is digitally monitored by traffic wardens from a central control centre, with cameras recording and storing photographs of vehicles suspected of violating parking and stopping regulations. Signs indicate areas under video surveillance, including the newly added locations.
The expansion forms part of Zagreb’s broader efforts to improve traffic management and make streets safer and more accessible. City authorities have urged drivers to comply with traffic regulations, stressing that illegal parking can obstruct traffic, disrupt public transport and create risks for pedestrians and other road users. The full list of camera locations is available through the City of Zagreb’s Geoportal.
