What this is
Fixed-rate fines for traffic violations and offenses against road infrastructure integrity are financial penalties imposed on road users for non-compliance with traffic laws or for damage to public infrastructure. They serve a dual purpose: ensuring public safety by penalizing dangerous behavior (such as speeding or driving with vehicle defects or without a valid license), and preserving the longevity of the road network by penalizing actions that damage the roadway and its associated equipment (such as truck overloading, vandalism, or illegal encroachment). Payment of these fines acts as a corrective measure designed to deter behavior that endangers others, compensate the State for material damage, and generate revenue allocated to the Road Fund for the maintenance and modernization of the national road network.
