50 new automatic traffic enforcement cameras to start operating in Ukraine from August 20

The network of automatic traffic enforcement continues to expand in Ukraine. Starting August 20, 2026, 50 new systems will begin operating on the country's roads.

This was announced by Oleksiy Biloshytskyi, head of the Patrol Police Department.

With the launch of the new devices, the total number of automatic enforcement systems in Ukraine will reach 426. As of early June, 376 control devices were operational across the country, installed in 32 cities and 18 regions, excluding areas where hostilities continue.

What violations do cameras record

The primary purpose of the system is to automatically detect speeding. Violations are registered when the speed exceeds the limit by more than 20 km/h. Some equipment is also used to enforce rules for driving and stopping in lanes designated for public transport.

Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 km/h results in a fine of 340 UAH, while exceeding by more than 50 km/h carries a fine of 1700 UAH. If the fine is paid within 10 calendar days of receiving the notice, the amount is reduced by 50%.

Drivers can check for fines on the Ministry of Internal Affairs portal, in the electronic driver's cabinet, the app, the Diia portal, and through the MIA app "Traffic Fines." Since last year, Diia also provides photos and videos of the violation along with automatic enforcement notices.

Camera network continues to expand

The automatic photo and video recording system for traffic violations has been operational in Ukraine since June 2020. Over six years, it has enabled police to issue more than 19.1 million rulings, and total fines paid have exceeded 4.1 billion UAH.

In 2025 alone, 40 new devices were added to the system. The network also expanded in early 2026: 37 more systems began operating on March 6, 35 of them at new locations, while two previously decommissioned devices were restored.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs explains the placement of cameras by the need to reduce accidents, especially on sections with a high risk of severe crashes. According to police data, 10,599 accidents related to speeding—one of the most common causes of severe road accidents—were recorded in 2025. In these accidents, 1,718 people died and 12,980 were injured to varying degrees.

Current locations of the systems, their monitoring directions, and speed limits on respective road sections can be found on the official MIA portal in the traffic violation automatic recording section.
