New Traffic Rules in Tamil Nadu: List of Rules and Fines for Violations

Tamil Nadu is a vibrant state in the southern part of India. It is the sixth-largest state by population in the country. It also has the second-largest economy in India and is one of the most urbanised Indian states. Rapid industrial development has led to more people visiting this location, resulting in more vehicles on the road. 

The unfortunate result of this is increased traffic violations (like driving/riding without valid car/bike insurance). The authorities have introduced new traffic rules and fines to curb traffic-related violations. Read on to learn more about new traffic rules and fines in Tamil Nadu.

Vehicle owners and drivers in Tamil Nadu should adhere to traffic rules and regulations for the safety of road users and to facilitate smooth traffic flow across the state. But with the ever-increasing number of vehicles, the authorities are finding it hard to curb the rising traffic violations. The Indian government passed an amendment to The Motor Vehicles Act 2019 to mitigate this issue. The amendment resulted in increased traffic fines and new rules and regulations.

The same rules came into effect in Tamil Nadu as well. However, the authorities made some recommendations to reduce the burden on road users. Traffic fines for some severe offences remain the same, whereas fines for other violations were modified.
