New sanctions: the keys to the traffic law reform in Córdoba
The Córdoba provincial government has updated its traffic law to include new concepts and penalties for offenders, which is now in effect.
The provincial government of Córdoba has enacted significant updates to its traffic law, officially published in the Official Bulletin at the end of 2025. This update introduces critical changes aimed at modernizing control and sanction mechanisms related to traffic violations. Following legislative approval, the new law is now fully in effect, signaling a commitment to improved traffic regulation and safety in the region.
One of the key changes includes the introduction of the notion of 'reiteration', defined as when an individual commits one or more infractions before a prior penalty becomes definitive. This allows authorities to implement preventive measures and consider repeat offenses as aggravating factors when determining penalties. Such a provision aims to discourage habitual violators and promote adherence to traffic regulations among the public.
Additionally, the reform expands the range of sanctions available to authorities, introducing community service as a potential consequence for offenders. This could be fulfilled within public institutions or charitable organizations, thus incorporating a rehabilitative element into the penalty system. Overall, these reforms reflect a significant step toward enhancing public safety on the roads in Córdoba and establishing stricter accountability for traffic violations.
