The process of intensifying urbanization has had many repercussions for life in society and for traffic, such as the popularization of automobiles, which has even increased the number of accidents. Accidents can be caused by numerous factors and their video surveillance has emerged as a measure capable of expanding the scope of inspection. This article intends to analyze the perception of public authorities and citizens of a medium-sized city in the interior of Bahia, regarding the effectiveness of electronic surveillance promoted by the Traffic Monitoring Video Project, implemented by the City Hall. Empirical and descriptive-exploratory, the results indicated that video monitoring is a tool that can help improve traffic fluidity and safety.
