The General Traffic Department has intensified its enforcement of speed limits by summoning drivers caught exceeding legal limits through traffic cameras. As part of its measures, authorities will impound violators’ vehicles for 60 days.

This initiative aligns with Kuwait’s ongoing efforts to enhance traffic control, minimize reckless driving, and ensure the safety of all road users. The department reaffirmed its commitment to strictly enforcing the law to protect lives and property.

Starting April 22, 2025, drivers who exceed the speed limit will face harsher legal consequences, including:

• Prison sentences ranging from one to three years
• Fines between KD 600 and KD 1,000
• Court referrals for severe violations

In addition, reconciliation fines will range between KD 70 and KD 150, depending on the extent to which a driver exceeds the specified speed limit.

The implementation of these penalties reflects Kuwait’s dedication to reducing traffic violations and ensuring safer roads. Authorities urge all motorists to comply with traffic regulations to avoid penalties and contribute to a safer driving environment.
