Stricter red light violation fines take effect nationwide

New regulations governing fines for red light violations at intersections came into force on Friday following a decision by the cabinet and since published in the official gazette.

Police said the updated framework introduces a graded system of penalties depending on how far a vehicle proceeds beyond the stop line or pedestrian crossing.

According to police, “the new regulations are applied without retroactive effect” and aim to clarify how offences recorded by traffic enforcement cameras are penalised.
