The panorama of road safety on Argentine routes is constantly under review and in the context of worrying statistics of fatal accidents, the province has Between rivers has taken a drastic decision to step up prevention: Introducing a range of new radars and speed control devices on its main arteries. The aim of this strategy is not only to apply the law, but also to raise awareness of the risk associated with non-compliance with the limits.
This intensification of controls with state-of-the-art cinemamometers complements a network of devices already in operation in the Entre Ríos area. Those responsible at the Directorate for Prevention and Road Safety were clear: the main goal is to achieve an effective reduction in the average speed of vehicles, especially in those places that have been classified as accident-critical in the past.
The main innovation is the inclusion of new checkpoints, which increase the total number of active devices on provincial and national routes. For the motorist driving along the coast, the warning is clear: the likelihood of being caught by registered radar is now significantly greater and the costs of speeding have risen to unfathomable numbers Minimum values that easily exceed $500,000.
Where are the new speed cameras in Entre Ríos: important locations and affected routes
Entre Ríos Road Prevention and Safety Directorate (DPySV) efforts focused on strengthening inspection presence in busy corridors. Although the province already had approximately 23 active radars, this number was increased by the addition of devices at strategic locations for vehicle control.
The point that has received the most attention in this recent wave of installations is strategic Rosario-Victoria Bridgea crucial link for the regional connection on the National highway 174. Three new speed meters have been added in this particular section, intensifying surveillance in an area The maximum permitted speed is 80 kilometers per hour. This concentration of radar devices is intended to prevent drivers from exceeding the limit on a bridge with special road characteristics, where an accident can have very serious consequences.
However, the strengthening of controls was not limited to the Rosario-Victoria Bridge. The DPySV’s plans also included expanding the supply network National road 18with particular emphasis on sections near populated centers. The locations where increased inspections will take place include: Montrull sauce, Roots Station And anniversary. Because these locations are areas near urban intersections, they typically have stricter speed limits (60 km/h or 80 km/h), increasing the risk of a violation for those who do not slow down.
Likewise, new cinemamometers and mobile operations were integrated on other important provincial routes. It is the case Provincial Route No. 11 (near Oro Verde), the Provincial Route No. 39 (at the height of San Justo) and the Provincial Route No. 20 (in the San Antonio municipal passport). These points are in addition to those already in operation and confirm the provincial government’s commitment to establishing a comprehensive inspection network covering both major national corridors and busy secondary roads.
The location of these devices, whether fixed or mobile, is based on statistical and preventive analysis. “The aim is to comply with current regulations and to create greater control in the areas where speeding is recorded,” explained the directorate.
Speeding fines: how much they cost and how they are calculated
With the introduction of the new radars, the costs of sanctions for serious violations will be significantly increased. The value of the fines is determined through the Fixed Units (UF) system, an indexed mechanism that allows the amount to be periodically adjusted to the price of gasoline, thus maintaining the deterrent effect.
According to official information from the Road Safety Directorate itself, the The minimum fine for speeding is currently $508,095. This significant figure is intended to make the economic impact relevant enough to make drivers think about caution and the imperative to respect the limits set on the signs.
Traffic fines: the advantage of voluntary payment and how to reduce the amount
Despite the high initial amounts, there is a mechanism that allows offending drivers to dramatically reduce the cost of the fine. It’s about them voluntary paymenta tool that allows access to a Reduction of up to 50% of the total amount of the fine.
By availing this benefit, the minimum fine can be reduced from 508,095 pesos to approximately $254,047.50.
It is important for the driver to remember that the voluntary payment must be made within the established time limits after notification of the violation and, as a rule, means an admission of fault while foregoing the possibility of a later defense.
