Fines Up to 10,000 EGP: Two Traffic Violations That Could Cost You Dear
A moment of reckless driving can quickly turn into an expensive traffic violation or a tragic accident. Speeding and sudden lane changes are among the most common violations committed by drivers on highways, main axes, and roads within new cities. Many drivers are unaware that these actions can result in fines of up to 10,000 EGP, in addition to the risk of fatal accidents.
Article 70 of the Traffic Law
According to Article 70 (bis – second paragraph) of the Traffic Law, any driver who violates the designated lane or exceeds the prescribed speed limit shall be fined no less than 2,000 EGP and no more than 10,000 EGP. These penalties are part of the state's ongoing efforts to reduce accidents and protect citizens' lives, as speeding and abrupt lane changes are among the leading causes of crashes on highways and main roads.
Smart Radar Systems for Violation Detection
The General Traffic Department has intensified its campaigns across various highways, main axes, and roads in new cities, relying on an advanced network of fixed and mobile smart radars. These radars are capable of detecting violations instantly and accurately, ensuring that no offender escapes punishment, especially in high-density traffic zones or areas where high speeds are common.
Advanced European Technology for Monitoring
The traffic monitoring system relies on advanced European technology to monitor prescribed speeds and ensure driver compliance on the road. In addition to the extensive deployment of traffic officers, these technologies help detect violations, reduce accidents, and achieve the highest safety standards for road users, thereby enhancing overall road safety.
Drivers are strongly advised to adhere to speed limits and avoid sudden lane changes, especially on highways and main axes. Following traffic rules is not only about avoiding fines; it is about protecting lives from the deadly risks that can result from reckless driving.
