Bill Proposes Changes to the Brazilian Traffic Code, Suggesting the Replacement of Financial Fines with Points on the National Driver’s License for Minor Infractions Captured by Electronic Speed Cameras.
In the current scenario of Brazilian highways, electronic enforcement plays a crucial role in maintaining order and safety in traffic.
Electronic speed cameras constantly monitor vehicle flow, recording violations and generating fines that financially impact drivers.
However, a new legislative proposal seeks to redefine this dynamic, significantly altering the way penalties are applied.

The Bill 266/25, presented by Congressman Max Lemos (PDT-RJ), suggests a review of the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) with the aim of modifying the penalization of traffic violations.
The proposal aims to eliminate financial fines for infractions recorded by electronic speed cameras, replacing them with points on the National Driver’s License (CNH).
Infractions considered very serious, which pose a direct risk to safety, would continue to be penalized with fines.
Proposed Changes to the Brazilian Traffic Code
According to the text of the project, the application of electronic fines would be restricted to more serious offenses, such as driving under the influence of psychoactive substances, disregarding crosswalks, and significantly exceeding speed limits.
Additionally, the project requires that speed cameras be clearly marked, following standards established by the National Traffic Safety Council (CONTRAN).
This measure seeks to ensure that drivers are aware of enforcement, promoting more conscious and safe driving.
Education and Enforcement: A New Approach to Traffic
One of the central pillars of Bill 266/25 is the implementation of an educational program coordinated by CONTRAN.
This program aims to raise awareness among drivers about traffic rules and promote safety on the roads.
The proposal also encourages the presence of trained traffic agents to conduct in-person enforcement, especially in situations of high risk, such as ignoring traffic signals and parking in prohibited areas.
Infractions that result in damage to third parties, whether material or bodily, would continue to be treated seriously, including the possibility of vehicle removal and the application of fines.
The goal is to find a balance between enforcement and education, seeking to reduce the recurrence of violations and promote a culture of respect for traffic rules.
Potential Impacts of the New Approach
For experts, if approved, Bill 266/25 could represent a significant change in how electronic enforcement is conducted in Brazil.
By eliminating financial fines for infractions recorded exclusively by speed cameras, the proposal aims to focus on raising driver awareness and avoiding excessive penalties.
However, the project still needs to go through several evaluation stages in the House of Representatives before being submitted for a vote in the plenary.
During this process, debates and possible amendments may occur, influencing the final outcome and implementation of the proposed changes.
Other Initiatives by Congressman Max Lemos
Aside from Bill 266/25, Congressman Max Lemos has stood out for other legislative initiatives related to traffic and urban mobility.
Recently, he proposed Bill 3215/23, which suggests making indebtedness with the Tax on the Ownership of Motor Vehicles (IPVA) the only impediment to the release of the annual vehicle licensing.
According to information from the ZM Notícias portal, this proposal aims to ensure the annual issuance of the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV) even if the owner has pending fines, separating the issue of traffic violations from the obligation of licensing.
Additionally, the project prohibits the seizure of vehicles with overdue traffic fines, as long as the IPVA and other obligations related to annual licensing are duly paid.
According to the congressman, “often, owners face financial difficulties in paying all fines at once, which ends up making it harder to obtain the annual CRLV and license the vehicle.”
This situation can create a cycle of default and delays, negatively affecting vehicle regularization. Therefore, the proposal seeks to prioritize the payment of IPVA as the main requirement for obtaining the annual licensing.
Next Steps and Considerations
The progress of Bill 266/25 requires attention, as it involves significant changes to Brazilian traffic legislation.
Civil society, traffic experts, and government agencies must actively participate in debates to ensure that the proposed changes meet the interests of road safety and fairness for drivers.
The combination of educational measures with more transparent enforcement can contribute to reducing violations and accidents, promoting a safer and more conscious traffic environment for all.
Um bom projeto, pois dá forma como está hoje é apenas mais uma fonte de arrecadação, levar uma multa onde o limite de velocidade é de 40 ou 50 km, quando o condutor passa a 41, 42 ou 51, 52 km por hora, não está provocando nenhum risco iminente, a não ser para seu próprio bolso em benefício de pseudos agentes da segurança.
