Overview
- Governor Alejandro Armenta announced the Operativo Monitor Vial, coordinating the mobility ministry, state police and metropolitan municipalities to enforce speed limits, including nighttime patrols.
- SMT data show that from June 1 to November 30 cameras logged 5,693,653 speeding captures, 4,094,572 involving out-of-state plates led by Tlaxcala, Estado de México, Morelos, Mexico City and Veracruz.
- The government clarified there will be no blanket checks on nonlocal plates; drivers will be stopped at monitoring points only if they exceed limits, with plates taken as guarantee if the fine cannot be paid immediately.
- Officials said the Velocidad Segura operation has been in force for about two weeks and that photo-infractions for out-of-state vehicles will begin in January 2026.
- Leaders framed the campaign as a safety measure in response to a reported 383% jump in crashes with injuries up 153% and deaths up 155% year over year, not a revenue effort or a deterrent to tourism.
