Buenos Aires Province Lifts Traffic Fines With UF Reset to $1,711

City penalties use a different calculation, unchanged through March 2.

Overview

  • The provincial update effective November 1 sets the Unidad Fija at $1,711 for November–December, reflecting a 6.5% increase tied to premium gasoline at the ACA in La Plata.
  • In the province, speeding carries penalties of 150 to 1,000 UF, which equates to roughly $256,650 to $1,711,000 under the new scale.
  • Alcohol infractions or refusal to take a breath test are punishable by 500 to 1,200 UF ($855,500 to $2,053,200) with licence and vehicle retention, and judges can escalate penalties based on blood alcohol levels.
  • In the City of Buenos Aires, each UF is $798.5 from September 2025 to March 2, 2026, and driving over 140 km/h is fined 400 to 4,000 UF ($319,404 to $3,194,040).
  • Authorities highlight stepped-up enforcement with signposted fixed and mobile speed radars, including 20 devices along Autovía 2, and drivers face a 20‑point scoring system that triggers suspensions at zero.
