Overview
- Fixed fines are replaced by proportional tiers that scale from minimum to maximum based on a driver’s documented history of unpaid or repeated infractions.
- Only the minimum tier will be used at first until the State Security Secretariat activates the recidivism-evaluation system required to assign higher tiers.
- Automated “smart” infractions will issue plate-based fotomultas via cameras and sensors primarily in confined public-transport lanes, exclusive lanes and bike lanes, with sites to be listed by the State Security Secretariat.
- Sanctioning authority is limited to female traffic police, while other traffic agents are restricted to surveillance and assistance as an anti-corruption measure.
- New motorcycle rules require adult riders, a mandatory license with a theoretical exam, certified helmets across the state, and limits on passengers and cargo, with officials stating fine amounts do not exceed prior caps.
