Alcántar Renato Ocampo, Chairman of the Municipal Public Security, said the city needs to increase the fines for traffic violations. He said the city’s current road safety campaign “We are Building the Future for a Safe Mazatlán” has highlighted the need to increase the fines for those that break the city’s traffic laws.
Renato Ocampo said too many people are talking on cell phones while driving, driving while intoxicated and under the influence of drugs.
To more effectively combat these violations, he said the city needs to increase the fines for these violations from 100 times the minimum daily wage to between 100 and 300 times the minimum daily wage. That would increase fines for these violations to between 6,000 to 15,000 pesos.
He noted that the change would put the city more in line with the traffic fines imposed by other cities throughout the country.
The head of Municipal Public Security added that the enforcement of the city’s traffic laws will continue throughout the summer tourist season.
