The implementation of the legislation on the gradation of fines from fixed traffic cameras begins on March 1. This was reported by the competent bodies and confirmed by the Minister of Transport, Alexis Vafeadis, during today's session of the Transport Committee of the Parliament. A relevant note will be forwarded to the Council of Ministers for approval.
It is recalled that based on the law that was passed, out-of-court fines of €85 are provided for in case of stopping the vehicle at the pedestrian crossing at traffic lights instead of €300 that is currently in force, while a fine of €300 continues to be provided in case of stopping the vehicle beyond the pedestrian crossing or in case it moves beyond the pedestrian crossing and within the road junction during the time the red light is on.
The existing provision for the imposition of a fine of €25 in cases of non-compliance with the obligation to stop before the waiting line at a traffic light, which is a traffic signal violation, is still in force.
