The Georgian government has approved the 2026-2030 National Road Safety Strategy and the 2026-2027 Action Plan, which identify reducing speeding on roads as one of the key priorities. BPN reported the information based on the government decree dated August 5, 2026.
At present, drivers do not lose points on their licenses for traffic violations recorded by speed cameras and are only subject to financial fines.
Under the strategy, the government plans to continue improving the national video surveillance system in coordination with the Public Safety Command Center 112 and install new devices across the country, particularly on road sections where the risk of speeding is high.
The government also plans to introduce a system for deducting points from drivers’ licenses when speeding violations are recorded by video cameras.
The document notes that the effective use of the driver’s license points system in relation to speeding is currently not implemented in practice. The introduction of a points deduction mechanism is therefore viewed as one of the tools for preventing speeding and strengthening enforcement.
The government also plans to continue work on reducing maximum speed limits in built-up areas, as well as the permitted speed threshold, known as the tolerance margin.
The document states that reducing speed limits alone is not sufficient to address the problem. A systematic approach will therefore be introduced gradually, including:
- improving road infrastructure;
- introducing strict, proportionate and consistent penalties for speeding;
- more effective use of the points system;
- raising public awareness;
- identifying so-called “black spots” on roads.
The strategy says effective speed management is expected to reduce the number of road traffic accidents, as well as deaths and injuries resulting from them.
The government also estimates that lower speeds could help reduce air pollution, excessive fuel consumption and noise, while improving traffic flow and mobility on urban roads, including for pedestrians and users of two-wheeled vehicles.
