In Buenos Aires province, recent adjustments have raised the maximum fine for certain traffic infractions to $1.8 million, with a particular focus on serious violations that can be captured by radar.
The traffic fines in Buenos Aires are linked to the value of the Fixed Unit (UF) which is adjusted based on local fuel prices, serving as a measure to ensure fines remain relevant over time against inflation. As of February 2026, the value of each UF in Buenos Aires is set at $1,807, following a recent adjustment that nearly brings fines to $2 million for severe infractions deemed serious for road safety. This system aims to deter dangerous driving behaviors by imposing significant financial penalties, compelling drivers to adhere to safe practices and reduce road accidents.
