More than 2 million speeding tickets have been issued in Ukraine

As of June 28, more than 2 million citations for speeding have already been issued in Ukraine using automated enforcement systems.

In addition, more than 238,000 fines were issued by the patrol police using TruCAM devices.

As Oleksiy Biloshitsky, first deputy head of the Patrol Police Department, told the publication, the police are currently using a combined speed control system, Biloshitsky explains. This includes both automatic violation detection and TruCAM laser speed guns used by patrol crews.

Speaking about the prospects for reducing road fatalities, Biloshitsky cited the Swedish Vision Zero concept as an example.

“This is my dream, and I want it to become a reality in Ukraine,” he said.

According to the police representative, Sweden’s success is based not only on fines but on a comprehensive approach. This involves creating safe road infrastructure, including narrowing traffic lanes, installing lane dividers, and constructing raised crosswalks and roundabouts.

At the same time, the certainty of punishment and effective enforcement of traffic rules play an important role.

“International experience shows that one of the most effective ways to encourage drivers to comply with road safety laws is through effective government oversight, as well as an adequate and proportionate system of penalties,” Biloshitsky concluded.

Oleksiy Biloshitsky, first deputy head of the Patrol Police Department, told Glavkom about this.

As a reminder, the police have warned Ukrainians about fake fines for traffic violations.

Fines for speeding will increase sharply in Ukraine.

Over the past year, the number of reserved workers in Ukraine has increased significantly—by approximately 300,000 people—and the number of enterprises recognized as critically important to the economy has also risen. The government attributes these changes to the expansion of the exemption mechanisms, particularly for frontline regions, and is preparing to update the regulations.
