Autopista del Oeste Lowers Maximum Speed to 110 km/h as New Controls Roll Out

Officials say the change is intended to save lives, citing data that respecting limits can cut the risk of severe crashes by up to 40%.

Overview

  • Effective November 1, the new cap covers the main stretch from the City of Buenos Aires to Luján.
  • Enforcement includes mobile speed checks and fixed radars, with upgraded vertical and luminous signage prioritized in Morón, Ituzaingó, Hurlingham and Moreno.
  • Speeding penalties are set in Unidades Fijas: in November one UF is $1,711, fines run from 150 to 1,000 UF, and a 50% discount applies for timely voluntary payment.
  • The ANSV and the corridor concessionaire implemented the reduction after reporting frequent serious crashes linked to excessive speed.
  • Separately, the Perito Moreno now uses TelePASE only, and media report a $119,776.50 charge for driving without enrollment, while AUSA highlights faster, cashless passage.
