Montenegro Cracks Down on Traffic Violations with Hefty New Fines

Montenegro Tightens Traffic Laws, Increasing Fines for Violations Podgorica, Montenegro – Montenegro has implemented stricter traffic laws, significantly increasing fines for various violations. The changes, effective March 14th, aim to improve road safety and reduce accidents. Fines for running a red light can now reach hundreds of euros, and penalties for not wearing a seatbelt or using a mobile phone while driving are also substantial. The new regulations also address the safe transportation of children in vehicles. "I think the fines should be much stricter, especially for using mobile phones," said one resident of Podgorica interviewed in the video. The video also features interviews with residents of Belgrade, Serbia, who expressed mixed reactions to the changes. Some believe that the increased fines are necessary for better enforcement, while others feel that current laws should be more effectively enforced before introducing further penalties. The changes are part of a broader effort by the Montenegrin government to improve road safety and reduce accidents. The new laws are expected to have a positive impact on the safety of drivers and pedestrians alike.
