In Goiânia, approximately 300,000 traffic fines registered by speed cameras installed in violation of regulations are under scrutiny following a complaint made by councilor Sanches da Federal to the Public Ministry and the Municipal Court of Auditors. The councilor highlighted that some of these cameras are 'hidden' and poorly signposted, which constitutes a breach of the National Traffic Council's (Contran) rules. This raises questions about the legality and fairness of the fines imposed on drivers unaware of these hidden enforcement mechanisms.

Sanches claims that a formal request from the City Council questioning the placement and signaling of these speed cameras was submitted to the Municipal Traffic Engineering Department (SET) in October 2025. However, lacking a response from the department, he escalated the issue to the Public Ministry in January of this year. This escalation indicates a growing frustration with the lack of transparency and accountability regarding traffic enforcement in the city. Sanches's actions reflect a push for greater oversight and adherence to established traffic laws which serve to protect both drivers and the integrity of municipal functions.

In an attempt to gather more information, the media outlet G1 reached out to the SET for comments on the alleged irregularities and to inquire if the department was notified about the complaint. However, no response was obtained before the publication deadline of the report. The situation underscores an ongoing debate about the proper use of technology in traffic enforcement and the necessity of clear communication regarding traffic regulations to enhance public trust in local governance.
