Mandaue City eyes increase in traffic violation fines by 50-200%

SunStar Publishing Inc.

TO DISCIPLINE habitual erring motorists, Mandaue City is eyeing to increase fines for traffic violations by 50 to 200 percent. This was contained in a proposed ordinance amending Section 1 of City Ordinance 14-2016-1120. The proposed ordinance passed second reading on June 10, 2024, after the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue pushed for the amendment to the existing ordinance’s first section, aiming to deter habitual offenders and improve compliance with traffic laws.

Retuya said Team issues 150 to 200 citations daily, generating approximately P3 million in revenue each month. These funds, he said, are used to enhance traffic management programs, including digital traffic lights, closed-circuit television cameras, road markings, and mobile assists. The City has also acquired tow trucks capable of carrying up to 40 tons. Retuya said the proposed increased penalties are not intended to boost revenue, but rather to instill discipline among violators.
